I shoot a Ruger M77 MK11 Target in .204 with a 1-12 twist. It likes 32 gr Hornady Factory loads and 40 gr as well but absolutely loves hand loaded 32 gr V-max bullets pushed with 29 grains of Varget powder in Remington Brass and match grade primers. Muzzle velocity was around 3900 if I remember correctly. The 40's tightened up a bit as well by hand loading but on average 1/2" MOA all day long with the 32's @ 100 Meters. One thing I noted was I need to clean about every 20 shots as the group generally starts to open up around there and copper fouling can be an issue as well.
