Anyone else handloading for .204 Ruger ?

[R_Bert]

My Howa 1500 in .204 Ruger is a bit finicky on handloads. Been testing ladders and starting to get a few decent tweakers (three so far in 15 sets of 5 shot groups).

Here is the sets for Berger Varmint 35 gr (#20303) and H4895 powder.

5 in 4, 100 yds, 5-10 mph wind. I thought on frist set, scope was loose. But, wasn't.

This is set #3, the best of ladder.

Sets 1-6 left to right, 0.5 gr increasing increments (not shot in that order, but rather 1,6,3,4,5,2))Set# 5 was fair, but starting to flatten primers. Set #6 stopped due to very flattened primer.
