These are the results I got from the chrono
Hornady 32gr - 3967fps
Federal 39gr - 3644fps
Hornady 40gr - 3700fps

So there's very little in it between the 39 + 40's. It all comes down to whether your barrel can shoot the 40's. Luckily shoots all 3 rounds into ragged holes at 100yds.

What length barrel are you using?
Custom or factory barrel?

24" Krieger barrel 1 in 12 twist.

Should add the figures above we're with a silencer on board. Without the silencer 32gr was averaging 4015fps.

That's an odd one. You'd have to sacrifice the 50 odd fps though. The 204 is a loud one when your out lamping.

I need to see you, can you check my rifle on the chrono? my barrel is 22 " I'm curious what will be the result of
with Hornady 32 gr. is like a scalpel 300y 3 shots and three holes in one group together. First shooting with the rifle and I could not believe it's true.
ps.sorry for off-topic

I use the 32 g the whole time on foxes and I find it excellent , it's good out to 300 and beyond I'm told if its in the right hands, but it must be the loudest gun ever!!! Not the best for Tryin to be quite out Lampin :-)

Its loud alright but I love the boom from the .204, it's on par with the mythbusters blowing up the cement truck for me.

Settle down there now, if the women were as eager as yourself I'd be sorted.
