ADI 2206H (H4895) goes well in my Howa 204 - 28.1gn behind the 39gn Bk (Over Max)

ADI 8208 (IMR 8208 XBR) goes well in my Howa 204 - 29gn behind the 26gn Barnes VG (May be over Max)

I've got to say the 204 would have to be one of the easiest to find a load that works along with the 222 and 22.250 - all have been very easy to get to shoot well.

one of my best .204 loads is 30.6 grains of cfe-223 with 35 grain berger bullets--right at 4,000 fps and extremely accurate. I always get best results with rem 7 1/2 primers
