I am looking at reloading some 204 for my JP Rifles upper and want to find a recipe for ranges out to 500-600 yards. Any ideas.
 
Re: 204 long distance bullets

Berger makes a 55 grain in 204 the problem would be finding a rifle with a fast enough twist to stabilize this bullet. I think Berger says it will take a 1-9" twist to stabilize it.

The Berger 55 grain has me itching to get 20 caliber barrel and a new reamer to chamber it in 20 x 47 Lapua. The extra case capacity may be the ticket with the 55 grain.

Probably more information than you wanted.
