8208 and 40 vmax in 204

[Fern]

I run a 1/10 twist with both my 204R and 20p.

How do you like the 1/10 twist? If I can’t make 40s and 8208 I might be sending it in to pac nor for a 1/11 or 1/10.
I don’t ever see myself shooting anything heavier
Loaded up some for testing and hoping to get out tomorrow

I have three .204 Rugers, a couple of .20 BRs and a .20 PPC. I found that 8 twist custom barrels shot the 40 gr V-Max, 39gr Sierra and 40gr Bergers well enough to get groups under 3 inches at 540 yards. I shoot the 32 gr V-Max at short range in factory barrels. I have a Bartlein 7 twist barrel for the 55 Bergers. I got Alliant R-15.5 and VV N-550 to group under 3 inches in that barrel last week.
