  Haven't tried factory stuff.  Been loading Sierra's, 32gr on top of IMR4064.  Minute of crow out to 400yds.  I use a Bushnell Legend 5X15 with milldot.  First dot is about 400yds.  It can shoot 5 shots under a dime @ 100 if I can do my part.

I have had my Handi .204 for a year now and it is the most fun gun I have ever owned.   Deadly on Yotes and you can watch P dogs explode right in your scope.  Because of the 1-12 twist I have found the 32 and 35 gr fly much better than the 40gr.  My choice of ammo is the Hornady v-max 32gr followed closely by the Remington 32gr(they cost more).  Put a good scope on your piece and it won't dissapoint you.

Get it! There is just something about seeing the bullet impact before the gun can recoil that is a blast! And, for some weird reason, .204 prices aren't rising as fast as other ammo. At the local Wally World Hornady .204 prices have only gone up $1 in the past 2 years. .223 has doubled in the same time.

Buy It!!  .204 will wreck a P-dog,  I am loading 39 Gr Sierra Blitzking @ 3900 and 26 Gr Varmit Grenades @ 4200, with about equal results 1/2" @ 100

This was about 200yds and that is his foot tward the shadow of the muzzle

I had awesome factory with 32gr vmax's and my 22" bull barrel.  Only thing is you will need a new cleaning rod and jags for this cal if you dont already them.  And I still cant imagine trying to hold one of them itty bitty bullets over a case to reload.  But thats just me.  I'm still trying to replace the one I sold.  "Stupid is as stupid does."

Just get it and have fun!
