Default Anyone use the Nosler 34 Gr HP in 204?

.204 34 Grain Nosler HP (SHOTS) | RMR Bullets

New to the 204, components are difficult to find, especially brass. I am patient though. I have tried the Hornady 32 and 40 VMax.

So has anyone used the Noslers linked above and what were the results?

TIA

I've used most available bullets for the 204. I do like the 204. that being said the 204 shoots better(not faster) with the heavier bullets. But I do live in Wy..Think wind. My 222 and 222 Mag both outperform the 204 by a fair margin. Heck the 222 mag is almost as good as the 22-250...and is cheaper to load. The 204 does get some hang time on PDs with the lighter bullets in no/low winds though. The Nosler bullets and Sierras are my fav bullets. My daughter liked the 204 shooting PDs here on the ranch

Quite a few guys out here shoot the little .17 and .204 but being a wide open
Desert state, leads to long distances and generally if lucky, light winds on shooting days.

At least you have less of a chance of breaking off a small dia. aluminum cleaning rod in the .204 caliber
and it does better than the .17 when the wind gets past ten mph.

I came close to buying one but deceided that my 22-250 would just have to do
since my storage space was very close to maxed out.

Enjoy that .204............
it is a great little round for paper and small critters , squeaking and running around in the short grass !!
