    I had been going with 40 gr. VMax, but just lately got a good deal on Speer 39 gr. TNT's so been loading those with various powders... CFE 223, BLC2, etc. to see what works best. Somehow I accumulated 5 204's along the way so could conceivably work up a different load for each.

    Wow! 5 204’s. That’s outstanding. What are they? Ive just got one, Rem700 VLS, it’s a great shooter with 32gr vmax and IMR4198.

    Not a great photo, but left to right.... AR I built with a Wilson barrel, AR I built with a side-charging upper and ER Shaw barrel, a Ruger 77 Compact (my first 204), a Savage 11, and far right is a Mossberg MVP. The side-charger and Mossberg have not yet been fully sighted in and that's what I'm loading up for now. The Ruger and the Wilson barrel AR both like the 40 gr V-Max factory loads.... the AR especially. In fact it shoots those factory loads so well I haven't even tried to work up anything else for it.

    That is an awesome group of 204's. I feel like such a rookie, I've only got 2 of them, lol.
