My  Encore 28" Prohunter barrel likes the 40 grain V-Max with 27.1 grains of H4895 in Winchester brass.  It shoots them into sub .5 MOA.

Thanks for your responses, I am almost out of time currently shooting loads now(waiting for barrel to cool), imr 4895 seems to be working for me so far w 39 gr blitzking if it will give me consistent .6 or less it will be a go, I  27 grains seems to be best . as I said thanks again the information from both of you has been a great time saver.       PS: driving myself bankrupt and crazy at the same time

Forgot to add I am not the greatest shot, and trigger pull is rather stiff.

 just got back from prairie dog shoot, .204 kicks butt not much left of pd, 39 grain bullets do not buck wind very well. Thanks guys saved me a lot of time.
