Hutch20: The other guys have it right. The 204 is one of those calibers that seems to like jump to the lands. In my case, I mostly single load for bench varmint shooting, so I load mine out long, too long in fact to fit the magazine.
My bullets in my Sako Model 75 Varmint only have .120" of bullet in the case, meaning I can't rough handle them at all, put them in my pocket, etc. Even with this long loading length, I still have a whopping .100" jump to the lands, and the rifle shoots 100 yard groups in the .3's from the bench. Not many other calibers would shoot that well with that kind of jump. Even when loaded to fit my magazine, the Sako will print under 1/2".
Look at these 32gr Blitz Kings loaded for my Sako, compared to the factory ammo you probably have there at home to get an idea of what I'm referring to.
If for any reason you decide to load long, be sure to check bullet concentricity on a quality tool, as if not loaded with inline seating dies, it's not a good idea to load long. The rounds above have TIR of .0015". Be careful, shoot well, and welcome to the forum.
