I just loaded up for the first time some 35gr Bergers with some Benchmark powder. I have only ever used Varget before in my 204's, one is a CZ walnut varmint and the newer piece is an HS Precision in a thumbhole varmint with the white colored stock.
This HS is an amazing rifle for a factory rifle, how well it shoots just about any load. Need the wind to die down a bit to test out the new berger load. Dr P

Re: 35gr bergers
I've almost fine tuned my 35Berg load.
Had a 3 shot 0.55" at 2.245 OAL, and 0.38" at 2.235. Unfortunately this round of testing used my last Bergs up. Since had 4 days of no wind. Bullets came in the mail today - wind's howling now
I'm using AR2206H - it gave my rifle a smoother charge vs speed increase. Wouldn't write off BM though - whatever works for your gun is good.
Hope the wind drops soon for both of us

Re: 35gr bergers
I couldn't get Benchmark to settle the 35g Bergers. I had great luck with Reloader10x and BL(c)-2
