Hello fellas, I've just started reloading and wondered if I could pick your collective brains for a load.
I have Hodgeson 4895 powder , hornady brass, cci br 4 primers , 32grn v max and 39 sierra blitzkrieg heads.
It would be great if you could point me in the right direction !!! Thanks in advance, Dan.

From my Hornady reload manual, minimum load is 25.9 grs. H4895 to max load of 28.9 grs. with 32gr. Vmax. I would also suggest, look at the top of this page for 204 Load data, and also take a look at the favorite loads on this page.

"BEST" is a matter of reference, your rifle isn't the same as either of mine.
If you start testing, you to will know what the "BEST" for your set-up is.

Too bad you have a Cooper, lol if you had a Savage Custom you could shoot this load. 500 bullets for 40$ cheap..Nosler Dogtowns rule!
Second target is Nosler lead free 32's long for weight. 5 shots @ 100

However, since he is shooting a Cooper, he will be able to hit the dime every time instead of just getting close to it!!!
Just kidding.
