ok i am trying to find a great load for 204 ruger and have had poor results so far and while i have been reading a lot i have come up with one question -- everybody wants the fastest with the most pressure from what i read - well i like to be conservative and safe so what i dont understand is - do you usually get the most accurate from the fast stuff that pushes the primer out and makes the bolt hard to open cause if that is the case then i think im going to sell all my stuff that needs the hot loads to shoot in a dime - i wanted to ask this because i have a few guns that shoot great and are loaded on the lower end of the powder load - also from what i have read ruger/hornady have their own powder mix for this 204 and it cant be duplicated - so whats the chance that reloaders might come up with an accurate load for this cartridge even if you dont get the speed -- if its not likely then i am going to stop trying - i assume that all the old loads for other calibers have been played with until a good combination was found without buying factory stuff- i feel sure ruger and hornady worked on this load for a long time but do you think eventually someone will find something or ruger/hornady will release what they use and put it on the market or will they keep it to themselves forever and charge the terrible price for the factory stuff
