The Nosler 32 gr. Varmageddon is the most accurate bullet in my .204. Win. brass, BLC(2) powder, Rem. 7 1/2 primer. Had one three shot group go into .169. The largest group was under 7/8". With 39 gr. Sierra's I was always between 3/4 and 1 ". 4ogr. V-max stay right around 3/4".

I've shot mostly 40 gr. V-Max in my .204 but I'm really liking the 32 gr. Varmageddon. I shot a badger at about 200 yds, hit him dead center chest. It put him down without a wiggle. I had a splash on a broadside shot at a badger with the 39 gr. Sierra and a buddy had a splash on a coyote with it so we've started using them only on ground squirrels and rockchucks. The 40 gr. V-Max works real good on badgers and coyotes.
