Same here. All four of my 204R rifles give their best performance (velocity and accuracy) using RL-10X over all others. YMMV

I havent loaded any 35 gr berger with RL10. I will give it a try.

Here's a factory rifle for you!
I call him Stumpy, he has a 15" threaded barrel and a muzzle break that brings the OAL to 17"

I only wish the barrel were thinner as that small deficit created by the 20 caliber bore leaves a lot of weight.

Looks like a decent set up for a walk about rifle. Should not be that heavy with the sling. How does it group with your loads, etc. ?

It holds 'em inside a tennis ball at 100 yds but it brethren contender wears a 23" barrel and can reliably tag a quarter from the bench at that range.

I've only used 32 gr. bullets

They sound and look good. Should be fun to shoot. Any photos of some critters taken with them ?
