Compressed BP works great in my .45/70. Wink

Seriously, tried compressed loads in my .204 and, like Omni's experience, accuracy was less than desirable.

Good to know, marty. Just picked up 200 BR4s to test. I sorta hope they do bette ...

Ok. Will do. Gotta go to town tomorrow, anyway. Might as well pick up a pack to test.

found the chart you were talking about. Yup, they call the Rem 7 1/2 'magnum'. Kinda surprised me, as disagree with that.

My Lyman and Hornady manuals say Rem 7 1/2 (not really 'magnum' primers). No mention of magnum primers being recommended for the .204 Ruger. Not to say they can't be used, but I've never f ...
