Top 3 Powders for the 204 Ruger

[FireBallGuy]

Here's a good one for all of you, if you only had 3 powders with which to reload the 204 ruger, which would they be? Taking into account of coarse velocity and accuracy. This was just a stupid thought that came into my brain and I thought I would pose the question in this forum. Curious to see what you all say.

???=RL10X

At first I wasn't impresses with Reloader 10. Once I backed by OAL further from the lands I've found a very consistant sub-sub load. I was also impressed with Benchmark.

I vote the same as Ruger no 1.

Have tried many others, but Benchmark and H4895 do the trick.

Benchmark
H-4895
Winchester 748

Not nescessarily in that order.

Benchmark
H-322
H-4895

With a very honorable mention to the late and lamented AA2230-C. I wish it was still around in quantity, when my last four pounds are gone, I will be in mourning..............

Well done joe!!! I see you like benchmark eh?

[Squatting Wolf]

H-322
Benchmark

I've haven't had a need to try anything else. H-322 is working very well with the 32 grain Hornaday's and I just started load development with Benchmark paired with 35 grain Bergers which is showing some promise.

My 3 favorite powders for AR-15. Haven't tried Benchmark yet.
IMR4895
H4895
Varget

I have to agree with Joe.......

BENCHMARK

Shoots very well in both my .204's. Only tried the 39 gr bullets in one gun, but with Benchmark, it is a tackdriver with 39 and 32 gr blitzkings.
