204 Sierra blitzking 39 gr

[Ken hofer]

Hi guys what powder do you guys use for the Sierra 39 gr blitzking ?

 

[lpel]

Ken I have had good success with H4895 in my Kimber and my Browning X bolt. BLC2 and IMR 8208 have also worked well in the Kimber. H 4895 also worked well in my Remington 700 VLS which I no longer have.

27.5, 27.7 H4895
30.0 BLC2
27.2 8208

As always work up your loads.

I use H322, tried 8208 and another that I can't remember now and results were very close. I happen to have an 8lb jug of H322 so I use it a lot if the groups are good.

27.3 gr IMR 8208 3900 fps with no pressure signs.
Remington 700 sps varmint 24" barrel.

H4895, IMR8208xbr, H322 and Benchmark all work well for the 204 ruger( I assume that is the cartridge you are refuring to).

H 4895 has worked great for me in half a dozen 204s. Imr 8208 is a great powder also.

For me it’s 29.5gn’s of CFE223, 205M primers, Hornady case, 5 thou off lands which spits them out at 3880 f/s.

What's everyone's choice of primer in the .204 with the 39sbk?

 

[lpel]

I use cci 450 for all my 204 loads

 

[Ken hofer]

what kind or primers do you guys use i have a bunch of remington 6 1/2

Rem 6 1/2 primers have a very thing cup and are ment for low presure rounds like 22 hornet and the like and not for higher preasure rounds like 204 ruger. I personally wouldn't use them for risk of damaging the bolt face.

Gonna do up some loads this eve for an upcoming range trip and subsequently, some coyote hunting. I have Cci 400's and rem 7 1/2's. 39 sbk's and 39 tnt's. I'll do up some with varget. Some with h4895 and some with benchmark. Anyone else using the 39's with these powders? I've done some preliminary testing with H4895 and I'm liking the results. I think I just have to find the sweet spot off the lands.

 

[prairie lover]

don't use cci 400s as there too soft. if a rifle will not shoot 39 gr bk over hodgdons max load of h4895 then there is something wrong with it.

H 4895 has worked best in all my .204 ruger loads.

I’m on the H4895 and 39gr sbk train. slightly compressed
