204 Ruger 35 grain Berger Bullets load data

[IvoB]

Hi I just received a 100 of these - heard quite a lot of good things on this cartridge and how effective it's on Coyotes. If anyone else shoots these which powder worked for you - i will be using Hornady 2x fired brass. The rifle is a Tikka T3 sporter barrel . - any insights will be appreciated.

I use 27.5gr of H4895 with a 39BK which gives me 3770 in a 25.5" 527. The 4gr lighter bullet should hustle a bit better. Check this data against published data and work up accordingly.

thanks i do have some H4895 and also XBR 8208 on hand - i think these would be screaming close to 3900+ out of my 22 inch barrel

28gr h4895 and 35gr Berger is 3960 FPS in my 22” bbl.

27.9grs of H4895 in front of a CCI 450 primer or a max load of IMR XBR 8208 is what I load behind my 35gr Bergers. They are a excellent coyote bullet but you still have to do your part and hit them in the vital area.

I was able to shoot three rounds at 100 yards and they were all very close together about an inch high about 1/2 to the left - made my adjustments and now am pretty confident. I will pick up some H4895 and XBR 8208 and fine tune the load in the future.

thanks for you input guys
