Can anyone tell me the most accurate powder and loads for the hornady 32 grain V max .204 ruger?

what is accurate in someone else's gun may stink in your gun–you have to work up a load for your gun to find what the most accurate powder/bullet combo is.

You could try Viht. N130 or IMR 4895 to get started with the 32gr V-Max

.204 Ruger loads

I use Varget and BLC (2) but I also use 40 gr. Bergers since they seem to work better than V-Max in my particular rifle.

Next, I'm gonna try 335 if I can find some locally.

Sierra list Benchmart for the accuracy for the 204 32 grn bullet.

I load mine as per Sierra's loading except I had to switch primers to get it to work in my Ruger #1.
