I have developed some loads using 2200 in the 204 and 20 Tac. In fact, I use only 2200 in the 20 TAC. I regularly load 24.4 grains in the TAC so I think it would be safe to assume starting at 25 grains and increse by .02 tenths. I have shot some in the 204, up to 26 grains without pressure signs. My current load with the 204 is 4198 which gives me exceptional accuracy, in fact so good I did not try to develop a 2200 accuracy load . I load 2200 exclusively in my 223 with 40 gr. bullets. Very accurate.

Lenard--as you can see I don't get back here much---thanks for the 2200 info--is this loading for the 32, 39, or 40 gr bullets??
