Longstrider Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) I'll be loading my own fodder for the .204 Ruger soon and will obviously need powder .. Anyone already doing so with Ramshot powder ? I'm looking at specs and can't decide between TAC and X-Terminator.Β I have lots of Varget, but I'm saving that for loading .270 to my old recipe, so am looking at other, more available options for the .204" (I'm feeding it with 32 gr heads BTW as 40's just don't run true through my Howa) Another eason for not using the Varget is to avoid having to use a compressed load for top-end velocities. Help/advice from those 'in the know' much appreciated. Edited November 15, 2018 by Longstrider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1steele Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 I'm using TAC in my 204 with 32grn Nosler Varmageddon bullets. Been using TAC for 4 or 5 years now and get good results with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longstrider Posted November 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Thanks guys. I looked at the RamShot data and both powders seem to be OK for the .204, with the TAC being recommended for heavier bullet in .223, and that's why I wondered which was performing better in .204 with only 32gr of lead to spit out. I think I can feel a tub of TAC coming on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
