[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 2256560, member: 9551"] In 26 inch barreled bolt actions, the heavier 39gr Sierra and 40 gr V-Max can be seated out to the lands and really shine at long range. The currently available Berger 40 gr bullets do not have plastic tips, so they don't melt at the 4K speeds that are possible with the .204 Ruger. The .204 Ruger is in the burn rate is in the realm of the powders that win 300 yard bench rest matches. VV N-133 and N-135, LT-32, "Benchrest" (credit Bud LaRoche), IMR-8208, come to mind. No one has ever won a match with H-335 or the Accurate equivalent (made by St Marks in Florida). Win 748 will not burn completely in a 26 inch barrel and produces 'slow" velocities compared to other powders.
