i use the 204 ruger, i have used the 32 grain but had some problems so i swicthed to the 40 grain and had no probs, i use the 15 reloader prowder at 29.9 grain with a hornady vmax bullet. was wondering if anyone has had problems with a 32 grain, i had bullets blow up on impact, the 40 grain enters and doesnt exit most the time with my load

I had some problems with the 32 gr doing the same thing.

I found the 32gr to be too light, too. I use the 35 and /or the 40gr Bergers and have not had a problem. I use H4895.

So far the 35's have worked as well as the 40's, but I've not shot as many coyotes with it as I have the 40 to 'switch'.

i do know the 40s dont exit much they are deadly, go in and not come out

I've had real good luck with the factory loaded 32's but have heard good things about the 39 and 40's
