Go here and ask that same question. http://rugerhunting.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=4

This forum is for .204 only.

I have same rifle, have shot right around .25 at 100 with 26.5 grains of benchmark, 35 grain bergers at an oal of 2.260 and rem. brass that was prepped and cci br-4 primers. You will probably find the sweet spot for your gun within .1 grain either way. Work up to that load for safety though. It is not hot in my gun. but mighty accurate.
