[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 924683, member: 61747"] Yes. For example my other 204 and buddies 204 both can handle 24.7 grains of H4198. My new one was only able to handle 23.5. Now that I have my brass issue fixed it can handle the 24.7 as well. Now that all things are equal again, the 26" barreled 204 is showing to be 100 to 115 fps faster with the same powder charge. That makes sense to me. I held off installing the other 26" barrel until I understood what my problem was. As usual my problem was me. Ha ha. The additional velocity does not seem to give me a significant distance advantage on paper. However, I notice when shooting beyond 650 yards the bullets become unpredicatable. At 750 I have a tough time getting a solid, repeatable group, at 650 or less I can .5 MOA. So I might see 100 yards more but likely 50-75 yards and I will take that. I love shooting these little 204s LR. My wind calls need work. [/QUOTE]
