I'm loading 27.3 grs of Benchmark with the 32 gr Blitzking for my Cooper. It shoots very good in my rifle, don't remember the exact fps, but will check my book if you need it.

I'm using the same load as Keith, in my Savage with a 26" barrel, it gets 3950fps or so, but it shoots well. It still kills PDs, even if it is slow :wink: .

Funny how we think of 3950 as slow.

That is funny. I took my old muzzle loader out the other day. I haven't shot it since the end of last September. I have only been shooting my .204 all winter and man...talk about slow. It seemed like it took that old slug forever to get the the target compared to the .204. I guess I just started to take 3900 fps for granted.

I have had great luck with 32 gr BK and H4895 (28.1), shooting just under 4000 fps with .300" groups.

NHS - how true. But, answer this, if you had to pic, which round would you want to be accidently hit with?

"I will take the 204 in the arm for $50 Alex."

"Excellent choice, that leaves the .54 caliber in the torso for $100 to finish out that category".

39 grain BK

Post by janneuf »

I reported my success the other day so I thought I'd back it up with a target photo. All groups are at 100 yards, groups 1 and 2 are before I adjusted for POI change. Group 3, I adjusted windage and 4 I adjusted elevation to get where I want to be at 100 yards.


Load is 26.5 of H4895 with Sierra 39 grain BK

:D I guess if I had to choose, I'd take my chances with a blistering fast 32 grainer over a 375 gr maxiball going 1400 fps. You know that sucker is going to penetrate no matter where it hits you! :D

I'll take the category:

"Do everything possible to prevent accidental shootings for $1000"
