you do not state the caliber,I assume its 223, I have the same model but in 308,I load it with 150 grn FMJ 43.1 grns Vhit 140,and very accurate it is.

It is in the title - it is a .204

Mike

oops yeah

I use 32gn v-max over 23gns of H322 with excellent results in my Cz varmint .204, zeroed at 225 yards flat shooting out to 300yards, best rabbit so far at 416 yards (witnessed) with 12.5 inches of holdover.
It's a fantastic round for rabbits and all vermin,and foxes.

Sorry, typo error, should be 27gns.
I use 23gns for my .223.

Hi Ian, let me know when you get your reloading sorted,i'll be interested in your results.
BTW, the MAXIMUM load for the .204 and 32gn with H322 is 27.5gns,i've never tried the full load,more than happy with the loading as it is.
