Congrats on the new gun and the fun you are having with it. I also have a new 204. I haven't shot it yet! Maybe next weekend I'll sight it in if it ever quits snowing and dries up around here. In the meantime-enjoy yours :)

Way to go. Always feels good to get a first kill with a new gun.
 I have one with the same ammo sighted in at 1" high at 100 and held dead on at 300 for my first fox kill.

Mine shoots the 40gr Vmax real good with a near max load of BL-C2 using Hodgdon data.  ;)

39gr BK's  Mine key holed the target at 25 yd would not even hit paper at 50 yds   Went to 32 gr Nosler Ballistic tips.
They work.
