Does anyone have any experience using wc735 in the 204? Not really looking for other powder suggestions right now as I have lots of options. Asking simply if anyone has used it and what charges they found worked for them. I've got both 32 and 39/40 grain bullets.

Thanks,
Jamie
 
I loaded some 40 grain ballistic tips behind 24 grains of WC735 - by judging the primer it looks like about the highest I would go and currently don't have a chrony to check it. I'll try to remember to report back.
 
Please approach these loads with caution. These are loaded in my Rem 700 VLS.

25.8 WC735 CCI 450, 39 Sierra Blitzking Win Cases
26.5 WC 734 35 CCI 450 berger Win Cases 3993 fps 5 shots .552
26.2 WC735 CCI 450 39 BK Win Cases approx 3800 fps 5 shots .7
26.5 WC735 Rem 7 1/2 32 BK Win Cases 3873 fps 3 shots .5

My 204 much prefers BLC2 and H4895, but likes em hot. Does not like Vmaxs or 32 gr bullets. Loves 39 BK and 35 Bergers.

WC 735 works great on my 17 Fireball, 223 and with a 40 gr bullet in my 22-250.
