RL7 in the .204...

With that chart, what did or does it show the pressure is running compared to the others / Usually the companies show pressure areas and cautions for given loads that they show and list.
I still say play safe and sane.

A simple "You were right." would have been sufficient.

I'll give you kudo's to the fact that you actually found a source that listed RL-7 for the 204. It's the only source I'm aware of, and for that, "you were right". Happy now?

Given the fact that it's at the very edge of suitability for this case being faster than ideal, I'd not use it when so many other suitable and proven slower powders are available that give blistering speed and excellent accuracy. RL-10X gives me all the speed I need, and squirrel and chuck kills at ranges I'm hesitant to list in all four of my 204 rifles, but it's your rifle and your decision.

This discourse reminds of of a saying......"Just because you could, doesn't mean you should"......

Lastly, were you embarrassed about something you said in your original post that you felt the need to delete it all?

Good luck, and Merry Christmas.

Thanks for the Christmas wishes.

I had no need to delete my post(s), but a moderator had the need to hit the submit button on a ban threat, before he/she had the facts. I decided I didn't need the hassle.

Too bad this sub-forum is a near ghost town. More folks might learn something new!

Have a happy and safe 2022!

"Ghost Town" this site and forum is far from even looking like such. It is one of the most active and best, for information and shooting buddies, male and female, that any of them. We just care for each others safety and welfare , which we should, including the mod's.

I'm locking this topic. It serves no purpose now.
