Re: lets talk powder.....
I found some REL 7 locally from a guy that I'm trading some of my H335 to. I have a 35 Remington project going on at the moment and hoped to use the REL 7 on some lower velocity cast bullet loads, but am anxious to give it a try in my .204. I have a bunch of the 32 gr. VG, 32 & 40 gr. V-Max and 39 gr. BK to try. Wish me luck.
Anyone use Pro-Varmint with 39 or 40 gr. bullets?

Re: lets talk powder.....
From dinking with 204 powders since the cartridge came out in all four of my 204's, I've found that RL-7 is best suited for the smaller 221FB case....221FB, 20VT, 300BLK and the like. It is a bit too fast for the larger case capacity of the 204R.
My best performance with both 32's and the 39SBK has all been with RL-10X, Benchmark and similar burning rate powders. H335 is excellent in the 204 by the way.

Thank you Rick!!
Re: lets talk powder.....
H322 works very well with 40 grain Vmax in my Sav 110 Varminter. It meters very consistently through my Dillon 550.

Re: lets talk powder.....
I have some fine and accurate loads in my 204r's with CFE 223.
