My 204 is a Remington VSSf II with a 26" barrel.I load Winchester Cases with Varget powder and CCI bench rest primers and use Sierra 39 gr Blitz King bullets. This load will give me consistent 1/2" to 3/4" groups at 200 yrds with no wind .My trigger has been lightened to 1-1/2 lbs and the flash holes have been DeBured and the primer pockets uniformed.This is a very accurate load as I have passed this load on to 2 of my buddies and they BOTH shoot under one inch at 100 yds.Here is a link for some good 204 info.

Just to advise you my chronographed velocity is 3690 fps.Work up your loads slowly as groups were good to start with but got better as I shot couple hundred rounds through it ,got the brass fire formed and neck sized,
Good Luck,Hope this load works for you!

I have a CZ 527 and a Savage in .204. The CZ Loves the Sierra 32 gr. bullets don`t do bad with 39 gr. Sierra`s or 32 gr. Hornadys, but hates the 40 gr. Hornadys. The Savages like the Hornady bullets much better. The 35 Bergers aren`t reall bad in eather gun, but nothing to brag about. Just keep tring different combo`s untill you find 1 your happy with. There is not load that will shoot good in all guns.
