Your load with the 10x was too warm when temps went up, from what you worked it up in. Back off that load by at least 5/10th and see if it does not work, with the same accuracy, when temps warm, like you found in summer. :) Just looking at my notes now: Rifle is a CZ527 Varmint. Load was Hornady Br...

Two other powders for the 204R are CFE223 and R10x. Good accuracy and fps in upwards of max loads. :) I was wanting to try CFE223 as well but with this shortage i cannot find any in stock(things are getting hard to find in my location)... and when they are I'm not spending over $60/lb before shippi...

Hey all, well my go to Powder was H4895 with a 39BK. shot 5 in 3/4" all day long and averaged 3980fps. I didnt try to get any better as it killed every coyote I launch one at, so never found reason to change lol. For accuracy it was H322 with a 32gr Sierra. Now with the current shortage my supp...

Thanks all!!! I have a gunsmith who as built me a couple customs that Im sure he would be able to do exactly what is needed.. unforanitly i got the call for work so bushing the bolt will have to wait until i return. Until then or if im not back before we get snow and start running the dogs chasing d...

Thanks Darkker.. This is the 1st Firearm I have ever reloaded for that i have run into this issue.. i was suspecting powder but thought i would ask for some other insite. Currently i have 60 loads made up with RL10x for dad to use this winter on Coyotes while im away for work but cannot find it any ...

Hey all again. So I'm here at my range at s beautiful 7:00am trying some 40gr v max loads with H4895.. Hornady brass, CCI BR4 primer and 40gr v max. Took load data from Hodgdon webpage as a max load of 27.7gr. So I loaded up starting at 27gr working up in .2gr increments. First thing I noticed was s...

Thanks!!! I will definitely keep the RL7 for the .222 if or when i ever get one again. Thanks again for velocity update as im new to the .204. I really love the .204. What an excellent little round.. im thinking i might get a custom build one day with a 1-8 twist so i can shoot the 45-50gr bullets i...

thanks Rick.. im just having trouble finding RL7 in any manual lol no matter the Caliber.. But it work very very well in my .222... Sitting on 5 pounds of it so thought i would ask... How are my velocities??? around normal?? i tend not to believe manuals for velocity as I have run into more times th...

Hey all. New to the form and new to reloading the .204, but have been reloading for years. So my question is.. has anyone ever tried RL7 in the .204.. The rifle is a CZ527 Varmint.. 1-12 twist i believe with a Nikon Prostaff 5 3.5-12x50. My current load is a 40gr Vmax with a stiff load of Varget get...
