[bobcat30]

need a lil help guys. I have benchmark and h4895 am trying to work up some loads. Any help will be appreciated. whats the best i can expect to factory rifle besides boydt stock

I use H4895, BR4, and 39 gr BL in my Savage. I am running a slightly above book load (.2 gr) so I will not publish the numbers but am very satisfied with both the velocity and the accuracy! Work up to the max load but I had no problems with the max loads in my two guns. H4895 and 39 gr BK is a great combination for the 204!

Are we talking .5 or less?

[bobcat30]

The H4895 is extreme so it shouldnt be affected with the heat and cold being ii live in minnesota

On a good day (I am often not up to shooting well every day) we are talking .3 inch for 5 shots. Under .5 is the norm.

Shot my test loads today. Wow am impressed the benchmark showed good results put 4 of 5 in a 3/8 circle not bad if i do say so my self. The H4895 came in a close second at just a hair over that these loads were the max in book so im thinkin i prolly can tighten them up a bit the more the powder charge increased the tightetr they were getting

I had fantastic result's with Reloder 10x around 24.3-24.5gr's

I have had good results with BLc-2 and 32 gr V-max in 3 different 204s, of 3 different manufactures.

Gordon, hitting a pie plate at 50yds don't count!! ;D

I also had really good luck using Hunting Shack brass in both my Savage .204's

Thought about trying that blc2 but heard its temperature sensitive dont care to deal with that living in minnesota get drastic change

[Uncle Jack]

You might try H335. I much prefer using spherical powder in small cases rather than trying to stuff extruded powder in. I've never noticed any problem with temperature sensitivity and I live in Montana. But, then, I always use magnum primers with any spherical powder and work up loads accordingly.

I use RL-15 26.2gr in my 12 with the 39gr BKs. It seems to hold well here in ND. I have shot it any where between 100 and -40.
