Hey guys, I am trying to get a load worked out with my 39 gr. blitzkings because I couldn't get anything to work with the 40 gr. Noslers. I can't find any load data for the 39 gr blitzkings with the BLC-2 powder. I also have Varget and H322. If anyone has any input on what works best for them (39 blitzking), PLEASE HELP OUT!!! Thanks in advance!

Do some extrapolating from the Hodgdon site, I would guess that a starting load of 28 grains with a max load of 30 grains would be a good starting point.

I'll check my Sierra manual later but I'm pretty sure they don't list a load for .204.

To clarify, I am referring to BL-C(2). Sorry about that. :oops:

You'll have good luck with H4895 or Reloader 10X with those 39gr BK.

I had great results with Winchester-748 with the 39gr SBKs and your H-322 is really close to W-748 in performance... Mine was loaded with 26.3gr of W-748 (well below max,) and shot well in both of my .204s...

My remington LOVES RL-10X and benchmark!! Also shoots RL-15 very well. The best 3 choices in my new VSF.

I get very nice groups using 29.5 grains of BL-C(2) behind the 39 gr Blitz King bullets. Typically I use CCI BR-4 or CCI 450 primers. I would start at 28 grains and work up, considering 30 grains the max.

I have great luck with H4895 at 29.6 grains and cci small rifle primers.
