Powders for Nosler 204 Ruger data

[Greyfox]

Maybe Nosler might be interested in what powders that are very accurate in our 204 Ruger Rifles. My Savages love Rel 10x (very accurate) and Rel 15. These powders are with the 39 gr blitzking and 40 gr v-max. The velocities are 3700fps with Rel 10x. Rel 15 is slower at 3600 fps.

Although 'm using 32gn V-maxs, I found 27gns of H322 to be ideal for my Savage 12FV. Average velocity is around 3990.

Hello Greyfox, how many grains of Reloader 10X are you loading with the 40 grain? I have not found a load using 10X, but would like to try it.

Thanks,

Sierra 39 gr Blitxking, 25.1 gr Rel 10x, Federal GM205M primers, and WW brass. My Savage 12 VLP shoots this load at 3715 fps, ES 31 fps, and SD 13 fps. This is the maximum load in the Sierra load data. My first 5 shot group at 100 yards was 3/8 inch. The Hornady 40 gr V Max shoot a little slower and are not this accurate. Nosler's bullet trials will be this spring when I can get some.

You can download Sierra's load data from there website. It's the featured cartridge.
