From Nosler No. 6 Manual:

WW748 - Nosler 32gr BT
27.5gr = 3852 fps @ 93% Load Density (Start Load)
29.5gr = 4154 fps @ 100% LD (Book Max)

Thanks for the data mate. I was also wondering if you know what the knockdown power is like in comparison to say a .223rem.

Purely subjective, but to me, I can't tell the difference between the 223 and 204 on targets, they're about the same (to me) in the field, but the 204 shoots noticably flatter in comparison.
