Reloading the .204.....
« on: October 16, 2005, 05:36:03 PM »
....hello all, I'm new to the site and I am a die hard NEF fan.  I am seriously considering the new ultra fluted .204, but I was wondering what the availability of reloading supplies are out there yet?

Hello Song Dog Welcome GBO forums, stick around, Lot
 info here,
 Haywood Haywire is right, That is where I get my reloading supplies.
 Been doing it for years. Only thing I buy local is powder, Hazard fees
  make it cost to much. Regards, come back often. Marv.

I just have a plain handi in 204 I love it and it shoots very well.  A good site for 204 ruger info www.rugerhunting.com basically dedicated to the round.

Welcome aboard!! :D I have both, but haven't shot either enough to be an authority on em. If you go to the Remington web site, you can do a side by side comparo or both calibers or even add in the .223 for fun using like size bullets or as close as possible....you'll see that the .204 is noticeably flatter shooting and has excellent or better energy at long range compared to either of the other 2 due to the higher BC of the .20 cal profile.
