I know there's a couple guys here that load their own, where did you get the powder funnel? I have the universal size that works with everything from .222-300WM, but the neck of the .204 brass goes into the narrow end of the funnel. I read one of Jeff Quinn's pages and he said he modified a piece of .17HMR brass to insert in the funnel. I'd prefer to get a funnel designed for 20 caliber.

I'm starting off with 32gr V-Max with 25.5grs of H322 and that can be worked up to 27.5grs. to achieve 4030fps.

SR, I'm using a modified RCBS 17 cal funnel. Took a new drill bit and ran it thru by hand. Works well.

Don't over look the 39 gr Sierra BK's over Varget. If you want some to try out let me know and I will send a few out.

I ended up finding a 20 caliber funnel made by Saturn, on the Sinclair website. I'll eventually try the 39 and 40gr bullets after I get sighted in with the 32's. But I have to get the rifle first smile.gif

I modified a .17 funnel as well. It's good to know that more accessories are being made for the .204.
