Benchmark or varget were my go to for the .204. Both of them produced 1/2" groups. I never had a chrono so I'm not sure what velocities were, but the yotes didn't like either.

Same two powders I shoot in my 204, although with the varget shortage I'm going to stick with the benchmark cause the 7-08 needs a steady supply of varget.

Just talked to my nephew he heartily endorses H322 and so does another of the relatives.

I did try some H332... a little dirty. BLC2 is a good powder as well.
So far my fav loading is 24.8gn H322 .40gn Vmax, CCI SRP's and chrono's at 3977 fps from my Savage M12LRVP

27 grains of benchmark over 32gr vmaxs works good for me.

8208 XBR, Benchmark, H-4895.
I find RL-10X gives the best accuracy and speed in all three of mine.

I've used win 748 in two different 204s with 32&40gr vmax. Worked very well.

Ramshot TAC powder, over 40 gr. V-Max works in both of mine and flows like water.
