Sounds Like a blast using a 32 grainer on a pd. They tare the crap out of a Ground squirrel up here in Upper New York State. But no pd around here . Bummer. My Hornady Book doesn't even show use of RL-10X powder. But Sierra does show { RE-10X} and they use a max of 26.3 grains with a 32 grainer Blitzing. RL-10X powder is not listed in any of my Books being used for a .204. ?? What books do you use for your data listings? I have tried . IMR 4064 and IMR 4985 , IMR 3031 and H322 and my favorite is "Benchmark" . I guess it all depends on where you get your specs from. Sounds like you have a good combo behind that 32 grain V-Max. What kind of groups do you get at 100 yards. at that speed. Sounds like it good enough for pds. LOL I know when I hit a squirrel at any distance it blows them in two with a 40 grainer. Yuk. But pretty cool. LOL

For the most complete listing of proven and tested loads for the .204 Ruger go to www.204Ruger.com and click on load data. It is a summary of data from all the major bullet/powder companies.

www.204ruger.com/204_data.php

FYI
RE10x is RL10x.....monikers for Reloader 10X

To date I have used WW748, RL15, RL10x, H322 in my .204s. For my money I like RL10x best but all work very well.
This is a friends rifle I just finished. MGM 23" full bull SS .204 Ruger 1-12 twist, Gunstocks Inc. stock I finished from rough, Leupold VXII 4x12 AO.
Nice rifle and it gets the pd job done too !!

My Ruger #1V loves the V-max with Win 748. I get 1 hole groups (literally) and 4230 fps.
