I have both Midway Dogtowns and the Midsouth 34 grn Varmint bullets. They appear to be the same thing. Midsouth is quite a bit cheaper. I just got rid of one 204 rifle tonight and bought another one. I have been using 27-28 grns of IMR 4895 behind the 34 grain bullets with good results. I would suggest starting with a 35 grain Berger load and work from there. Dave

i tryed some of the dogtowns and found that 29.0 grns of varget worked decent in my gun and it shot just under.5 @100 and will try some col changes and see what happens. still cant beat the bk's but there good plinking bullets for sure.
