204 Load Date

[Bill K]

Are any of you loading any of the Accurate Powders in your 204's and if so, what powder and loads are you working with? Bill K

A2230 has done decent for me. I usually shoot between 26.9 and 27.2 g with a 32 v-max for a velocity of about 3,925 with low end and 3,975 fps on the high end. Anything in that node has shot pretty well. Rifle is a Savage 116 Weather Warrior with 22" barrel. I've used mostly Winchester Brass and Wolf SR223 primers with the 32's with an oal of 2.345. Average group is about .4-.5 moa. Have also shot a few rds. of 40v-max using Rem 7.5BR primers with best accuracy at 26g of A2230. That gave a velocity of 3,675 fps and shot just under 1 moa with an oal of 2.350. I did not try 39 sbk with A2230, but would expect them to shoot under .5 moa in this loading.

That would put it right around the area that IMR 8208 is doing in my 223, load/grain that is, not velocity. The 204 being faster. I can not locate any load data for 2230, which is what I am after. I have a email to Accurate to see what they have found or have done with the 204, so will go from there and your info. Thank you Bill K
