I have gathered some 204 DATA and plan to start reloading soon. I would like too hear what as work for you. I am hoping to take some of the guessing out of picking th bullet matching the powder and fiddling with too much.
I wish, I could DUP the hornaday factory 32gr vmax load. but I have read the powder is still propietary. and not available to the public.[V]

thanks

  Thinking about getting a 204 ruger to replace the old 22 magnum since ammo is tough to find. How is the 204 to reload as compared to the 22 hornet? Never had a hornet, but heard they can be difficult to reload for. Would the 204 Ruger be the same way? Thanks.

  Don't worry about duplicating the factory load - you will just heat up your barrel and copper foul it sooner.
  
  Each brand of rifle tends to like a different brand of bullets better.
  
  My 12FV likes 32 & 40 grain VMax. Tumbles 32 & 39 Sierra's. Absolutely loves the 35 grain Bergers.
  
  I prefer H4895, RE10X, Benchmark, H322, and other powders.
