hi Guys been lurking here for a while also since buying a savage predator in a 204 and have loaded about 100 rounds through it using some loads from here and cant belive the differance i see in the powders used and amounts and how there are so many favorite loads ! is this just beceause the 204 is a easy cartridge to load for and everything runs good in it ? for example i started w/ 26 grns. benchmark 39 grn. sbk and worked up in .02 increments all the way up to 7.2 grns ( this being very accurate) 5 shots under .45 inch but got same results w/ 26.8 grains. then went to H-4895 and had several more .50 inch groups w/ 26.8 and 27.5 w/ 39 grn. sbk. Moved on to the 32 grainers and didnt spend enough time w/ them gun doesnt seem to like them as much so wana work up a few w/ 35 grn. bergers for yotes . Great site and a lot of info!!
