Going to start loading for my .204 using 32gr. Vmax's what would you guys pick for best alround powder? Would like to run in the 4100fps range.

Benchmark, H-322, and RL-10X are my favorites with the 32 grainers.

AA2230 would be my choice for the 32's. Start around 26.5grains and work up. 28.0 is going to give you accuracy and velocities equaling and probably exceeding what you are looking for. 28.3 is a safe stopping point at least in my VLP 204, Remington VLS, Model 7 and a few others I've tested in. If you opt for the 39 grain Sierras, use 27.5 grains of AA 2520..........probably the only load you'll need to test! It's that good across the board in a bunch of 204's. GHD

To date I have used WW748, H322, RL15 and now RL10x. All gave excellent accuracy but the best all around was RL10x.

i shot varget in mine. it did not turn in the huge velocity numbers but i got a lot of very tiny .3" groups.

i think it was 26.5 to 28.5, is where i kept finding tack-driving loads. used sierra 32 grain blitzkings.
