I use H4895 and Reloader 10x with great success in my Rem 700. I have had great accuracy with 35 and 40 grn Bergers.

Ive had decent results with H335, Varget, and IMR4198

Been shooting the 32 and 40gr Vmax

Yeah H4895 & RE10X are good,so are Varget and H322.

I've been using what the guy I bought the rifle off of was using...

Bullet 32 VMax
Powder W748
Charge 28.6 gr

I do have some other powders I've been meaning to try when I get some time.

Reloader 10x is supposedly the best available

204 ruger

H-4895 and 35 gr Bergers one ragged
Benchmark and 39 gr blitzkings one larger hole
I have not tried IMR-4895 but think it would also be good

So far only used Varget in the 204, no complaints, will try some RL10x if I ever find some.

Only tried H322 (32 grain bullets) and H4895 (heavier bullets) so far, had good results so I never tried any others.

Others have mentioned the Reloader 10X and I have seen a lot of guys very happy with it on the 204 Ruger site. If I could find it locally I would be game to give it a try but I have not seen any local and because I was happy with my current powders I never pursued it further.

If you are developing a new load and can get RL-10X I would give that a try first.

 

[disker]

thanks guys I will give him the data I think I have some RL-10

I am using Varget with my 40gr Nosler ballistic tips, and I found that Winchester 748 works well with my Hornady 32gr Vmax bullets. 28.5gr of Win, and 27gr of Varget. FS

I use H4895 and Reloader 10x with great success in my Rem 700. I have had great accuracy with 35 and 40 grn Bergers.

Bingo!

This is what I use in 3 different .204 rifles.
