With a 32 grain V-Max bullet, the .204 Ruger has a muzzle velocity of about 4225 feet per second. Pretty quick.
Data from Hornady shows MV of 3625 to 4225 fps, depending on bullet weight.
The current record for the fastest bullet is held by the .220 Swift cartridge, which can reach speeds of up to 4,665 feet per second.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Depends on barrel twist, bullet weight, etc..
20% of 204 = 20% * 204 = 0.2 * 204 = 40.8
4.25% of 204= 4.25% * 204= 0.0425 * 204= 8.67
You need to talk to a gunsmith. DO NOT TRY TO DEVELOP A LOAD WITHOUT TALKING TO A GUNSMITH!!!!!!!!!! <><><><> Please check for data from the powder manufacturer, the bullet manufacturer, or reloading manuals. Asking for load data from an anonymous open source such as WikiAnswers could be extremely dangerous, since anyone may answer a question here. I COULD be 12 years old, and Mom does not know I am using the computer. Please see the link at the bottom of the page. Your powder is sold in the US as Hodgdon H4895. Have not seen loads for a 26 grain bullet.
Check with the West Virginia Dept of Natural Resources for the specific use you are seeking (what animal, what season). The game regulations only state "center fire rifle" for deer hunting, with no mention of caliber. As a personal note, it may be legal, but I would not recommend it- While the .204 will kill some deer without question, it will wound a lot more. The cartridge was developed as a varmint round, not a big game round, and the 32 grain bullet simply does not have the mass to RELIABLY reach vital organs for a quick, clean kill.
204/10 = 20.4
jk 12x17=204
Yes, there are .20 cal bullets. Not very common, they are typically very small bullets for high velocity rifles. The Ruger .204 is about a .20 caliber cartridge.
