Thanks Ol 55 look forward to seeing the data, greatly appreciated.

And thanks everyone else for their replies.

I think i undestand but please correct me if im wrong, you are refering to the tapered section at the base as the ogive and the larger the ogive the deeper the projectile needs to be seated, so the projectile area touching the side of the case is what is important and should remain consistant.

I use them predominantly. My 204 has a 1 in 10 and it shoots the 39bks and 40 vms equally well ver the same charge but the seating depth varies as the ogive is at a differnt spot on these two pills Do you seat the Sierras or the Hornadys deeper Trevort, due to my lack of experience im not sure what...

Can i ask what load you are using?

Prepared 6 loads this morning based on the best results i had with the 39gr Siera's.

2206H powder - 27.1gr - 27.3gr - 27.5gr & 2208 powder - 28.3gr - 28.6gr - 28.8gr

Will post the pics up when i get a chance to shoot them.

Well it sounds like they might be worth loading up, especially with the availabilty of the 39gr BK's. Off to the bench i go.

I was given a pack of 40gr Hornady projectiles to shoot in my 204 so was after some advice on how people load these up. At this stage im not even sure if the Sako with the 1:12 twist will group them. I have only put 39gr BK's through it so not sure if i use the same formula or whether something diff...

ALSO, the groups indicate your local vermin population is in serious danger anyway

I am hoping thats the case with the bunnies Trevort, but would still like to see 1 big ragged hole on paper so that when i miss i know its me and not he gear thats not performing.

Thanks for the feedback guys, grumpy i see your point and am going to reshoot some of the better grouping loads from a bench and see how they come up. You are spot on with what you say about changing position and not getting back in the same spot, i know this for a fact was the case with the 28.8gr ...

Louie scope is a NSX 5.5-20x50 and i am shooting off a rug laid out on the floor, rifle is on a bipod with sand bags. From what i read i expeced better results with the 2206H. Perhaps i should look at getting the rifle bedded by a gunsmith. I will load up some more loads with a little more powder an...

I went out on the weekend and fired my 2206H reloads, results were all over the place. Not sure if someone can help or offer some advice on what i may be doing wrong. I have also added pics of my 2208 groups so people dont have to go over my old post. http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd138/Draftyp...

What did it shoot like before?

5th shot was driver error, new it when i pulled the trigger i guess thats why they say do 5, it allows for hopeless shooters like me.
