HSM VARMINT 204RUG 39GR BLITZKING 20/25
- Capacity-Rounds:
- 20
- Grain:
- 39
HSM Varmint .204 Ruger 39gr BlitzKing ammunition is purpose-built for shooters who demand precision and terminal performance in a compact, high-velocity package. The .204 Ruger is a flat-shooting, low-recoil round that excels at extended-range varmint work—coyotes, prairie dogs, groundhogs, and similar game. HSM pairs this efficient cartridge with Speer's proven BlitzKing bullet design, a hollow-point that combines explosive expansion on impact with the aerodynamic profile needed for consistent downrange accuracy.
The 39-grain BlitzKing projectile leaves the muzzle at 3857 fps, generating 1289 foot-pounds of energy—enough to deliver clean, decisive results on small and medium varmints without excessive recoil or muzzle blast. This velocity and bullet weight combination keeps the .204 Ruger's inherent ballistic efficiency front and center, making wind reading easier and shot placement more forgiving at distances where many centerfire varmint rounds start to fade. Whether you're hunting from a stand, glassing open country, or working a prairie-dog town, this load delivers the precision and terminal consistency that separates successful days from frustrating misses.
HSM ammunition is manufactured to strict quality standards, loaded with attention to consistency that serious varmint hunters and precision shooters depend on. Each box contains 20 rounds, ready to load and shoot. If you run a .204 Ruger and demand ammunition that balances velocity, bullet construction, and reliability, this is a load worth testing in your rifle.
