35 grn bergers and 10X

Post by killman »

Does anyone know the min and max charges? As Silverfox as already directed me to the 39grn sierra data and work up. But I am not confident in my skills in recognizing signs of high pressure.

Thanks.

Look under the 204 load data at the top of the page, and then click on Sierra. They list the min and max for the 32 and 39 gr BK's with RL-10X. For the 35 berger go in between the two and you will be fine. I personally have found 25.5 gr of RL-10X for the 35 gr bergers works great in both of my 204's

You should also give benchmark a try. Pretty rare to hear of any one NOT being able to find an accurate load with 35 gr bergers and benchmark.

Yep, killman, it looks like that load of 25 gr. of Rel 10X might be the ticket. Load up a few more and see if you can repeat that super-nice group a few more times before you load up hundreds of rounds.
