.204 handi what weight bullets shoot the best
« on: October 20, 2011, 04:55:02 PM »
Well I know every barrel is different but has there been a weight that anyone has found shoots better than another. How has the 45 grain hornady sp performed if anyone has tried them.

I had done a search and on some site the guy said he shot the 45 grain sp and they shot great. I think I am going to try the 40 grain vmax to start. Midway has there 34 grain bullets for like 12 bucks 100 so might even give them a try. What are you using to trim your brass. Lee doesnt have a trimmer but have seen that some dies do it for you.

So far every 204 I have shot has loved the vmax 32gr.
All but one of them loved the vmax 45gr also, only with a POI of about 1.5" higher with the same sight in.
I have never tried any other weights or brand in any of my 204s.
