I can't get V-Max 40 grain bullets in 20 caliber (.204 Ruger), so I ordered the same weight in Rem and Nosler.
I don't have a Nosler manual current enough to contain .204Ruger data. Anybody have a Nosler manual handy?
I could use data for primer, powder, start and max charges for the Nosler 40 grain BT in .204.
Thanx in advance.
Jeff

We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

Sierra 39 gr and Hornady 40 gr are "out of stock, back order", I don't see the 39 gr Berger listed at Midway. I talked with the customer service folks at Midway who told me not to hold my breath expecting the V-max or Sierra's.

Jeff, here's page 74 of Nosler #6 for the .204 Ruger cartridge. Nosler shows a 26" Pac-Nor, 1-12" twist. Nosler brass with a Fed 205M. Hopefully you can read the pic....grin ![[Linked Image]](http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e78/montanasam/[bleep].jpg)

Spot on, all doubts removed, thanx. My .204 can kick your 17 HMR's arse.  Nosler shows a 26" Pac-Nor, 1-12" twist Same barrel that Redneck is putting on mine, except at 24".

The 39 gr BlitzKing is one that I can't get, speaks volumes of it's popularity though. I may try the 32 grainers so I can boast about 4,000 fps.  The 1 in 12 twist seems to dominate the .204.
