Hi
There is a guy that makes 5mm center fire brass that works in the T/C by just switching it from rimfire to center fire. He also sell the loading dies. Now that the  204 Ruger is around that 204 bullet could be reloaded in the 5mm. I have his name and address some where if you are interested.

I didn't think about the .204 Ruger--I could probably just rechamber. . .

Only if you want to cause an explosion...
The 204 is a much higher pressure round than
the 5mm Rimfire..

It is reputed to have lots of muzzle blast in a pistol.  I find it pleasant (and darned accurate) in my carbine barrel.

Do a search for "Eagle View Research 5MM Craig" and you will get all the information you need.  These guys are great to work with and have a ton of information.  I have a 10" contender and my friend had his remington converted.  Just starting to play with my t/c and getting 50yd 2inch groups while fireforming the brass and 30 gr bergers.   Should be able to really play with it in the coming weeks using the fireformed stuff and then I'll chrony it and get serious with the accuracy.  The bolt gun is getting 100yd 2inch groups with the fireformed stuff that he has reloaded.  We're sharing the dies but keeping each others brass separate.... Anyway, I'll follow up as soon as I can to let you know.  

I do have 40 rounds of original 5mm Rimfire avail if interested.
