Looking for a good load for Benchmark in a 204.
With 39 gr. Sierra BK.
I have been using 32 gr. Hornadys and want to go heavier.
Gun won't shoot 40 gr. Hornadys.
Thanks
Clayman
 
26.5 in XR set very long but i don't have the numbers by me right now. I can make them touch, but that take ME doing it right.
Hey VA is there an over travel on that xr trigger mine has a bunch.
 
Clayman,
26.0 grains of Benchmark, BR-4 primer, WW brass seated to 2.350 OAL will shoot in the .3's in my 700 LVSF.
With the 22" barrel it averages in the 3550fps range. That wasn't fast enough for me, and the BK's are pretty fragile, so I'm shooting 40 grain Bergers with 28.0 gr H4895 at 3740's range. The BK's also shot very well with H4895 and H BLC-2, both in the high 3700's.

My rifle doesn't like 40 V Max's, and it really HATES 40 gr NBT's
Good Luck!
