204 & H4895

[Hippy]

Thought I would get some range time in this past Sat & Sunday after the rain was able to shoot both Sat eve and Sunday Afternoon. Factory XR-100 with V-24 Weaver and Rifle Basix trigger

I had been shooting Benchmark and getting decent 3/8" groups but had remembered H-4895 worked well . Winchester brass -7 1/2" Sierra 39 BK

None of these groups measured over .3 for 3 shots

That's some good shooting! What bullets are you using?

Looks good....The two powders that have worked very well for me and several friends
.204 rifles have always been H4895 and RL-10X.

I have used a variety of powders in my 204. Right now XMR 82098 gets the nod

I think Remington made a big mistake when they stop making the XR 100 I also have a 204 it shoots the 39gr sierra in one hole.

Yea they did mine shoots everything i put in it in one hole. One of the most accurate factory guns out there

I'm currently have 2 20P that love H4895. My only gripe is I wish it metered more consistently.

So far 8208 is the king in my LRPV. I am getting 3800 with it and great accuracy, with the 40 Vmax

 

[DogBuster]

recently tested some 8208 in my high mileage 20 PT barrel.......40 V max.....

was pleasantly surprised...........

usual powders are H4895 & Benchmark......
