I wish I could help. My uncle gave me about 450 of them he couldn't get to shoot as well as he wanted them to. I tried them in 2 different .204's and was unsuccessful as well. I gave them to a friend and he got them to shoot ok in his Cooper with I think a Ramshot powder X-Terminator possibly?

I was a TAC guy mostly. I just sold my only 204, hanging my hat with 223’s & a few 22-250’s.
I have nothing against the 204 though.

TAC or 10x.
H-4895 was another one we have had good luck with.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

I’ve had great luck with Benchmark in several 204s, using 32 and 35 grain bullets.
