204 reloading data
Just type 204 ruger reloading data into google and you will find several pages of sites with reloading data for the 204 ruger. I don't think you can duplicate the factory round as of yet but can come very close. I have had very good accurate results with my 204 Ruger varmint rifle using 32 gr hornady v-max with 28.5 gr Hodgden BL-c (2) powder and cci primers with Win cases. I had some signs of high pressure (raised and burned primers) when I went closer to the max listed for the BL-c (2) so I backed down to 28.5 gr and have not had a problem and have hole in hole accuracy with this load. Definately a nice round to shoot prairy puppies with. Low recoil allows you to watch it to the end. I hope this helps, start at the low end and check your cases.

The Hornady loading manual has loads for the 204 Ruger. Buy a manual.
