I loaded up 8 different loads for the .204 using the Sierra 39 gr. Blitzking. I found one load that shot the best group I have shot in my life! Here’s the data:
Sierra 39 gr. Blitzking #1039
IMR 4895 @ 27.0 gr.
Winchester WSR Primer
C.O.A.L. = 2.250â€Â
5-Shot group @ 100 yards = .183†Center-to-Center

I noticed your name is not in the postal shoot list. Hawkeye's LRPV needs some competition!

My shooting buddy was watching after the first 3 shots, then the fourth shot went into the center, after that the pressure was on. I don't know who was more surprised, him or me!Hawkeye Joe wrote:Nice shootin WTWrzWaldo wrote:I noticed your name is not in the postal shoot list.

Hawkeye,
Is that LRPV the new Savage that has the trigger that adjusts down to a few ounces? Do you know if that trigger would / could be used in my buddy's Savage model 12?

I'm not sure if the trigger will fit the other actions...The last time I shot a group like that it was a .07? . The last five of the day.The next time out before my first shot I noticed my scope was loose
...Never tried IMR 4895 for the 204.Maybe some day I'll give it a try.I stock it for my 8X57 Mauser.It's VERY accurate with that stuff!
