[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 791402, member: 23486"] Mine is a Savage model 12 VLP (i think that's right). Mine is the non-accustock with a laminate wood stock. I have not reloaded for it yet as it shoots the factory stuff so well :D one of the only cartridges I actually buy factory ammo for. Interestingly enough, my 204 does not like the Hornady 40grn loads, it prefers the 32grainers by a large margin. I'm sitting on somewhere north of 600pcs of 1x factory rounds I kept after some prairie dog outtings. I intend to load at some point, just not sure when. Case weight, neck tension & concentricity will play out much better after 500yds I feel. Anything inside that will probably not show large results. Let us know if you find any better loads that what you've already got. Most folks are saying that they cannot reproduce the factory rated velocity. Interestingly enough, my 26" bbl never produced 4225 anyway :D VihtaVuori shows N530 pusing a 40grn V-max over 4000 in a 24" bbl.... that could be a pretty dern good combo. t [/QUOTE]
