new 20 cal lead free bullets

Hello there, I wish I heard about this site before. I would have joined long ago !! I have a Remington 700 SPS Varmint .204. I have had it for a couple years , haven't shot it much at all. I will be this coming spring and summer though.

I was wondering if anyone has reloaded any of the new lead free bullets in their .204 ? I see that Hornady offers a factory load in .30 gr. with ballistics almost identical to the .32 gr Vmax factory load. I am seriously considering reloading for the .204, I don't even know where to begin for it :?:


Thanks again

Scott

I have loaded the Barnes 26 Varmit Grenade. They are lead free and developed for the military to prevent ricachet. They shoot very well in mt 1 in 9 twist shilen barrel. In the 3s. Read Read Read, and keep it safe. If you know someone who practices safe reloading I sugest try and get them to show you how. I stareted reloading nosler bullets and bought the nosler reloading manual. well wort the money explained reloading in detail. Good Luck, better to ask silly questions then to catch a bolt in the teeth!
