Unprimed brass for the 204 is hard to find right now. The brass is in hot demand as loaded ammunition. I bought 200 rounds of Hornady ammo, 100 of each (32 and 40 grain) so I’m ready to reload once fired brass.

Checking the price of 20 caliber bullets and the price of unprimed brass, it’s cheaper to buy the loaded factory ammo at this time. No one can buy the powder that makes the 204 as fast as it is in factory rounds anyway.

LOL skb2706, the rack at the Sportsmen’s Warehouse was 10 boxes high and 3 deep of loaded Hornady ammo. There wasn’t a piece of brass or a box of 20 caliber bullets to be found though.

Do an Ebay search on 204 in reloading, thats the best bet.  I emailed Hornady to see if they are planning on selling the powder that they use for the 204 vmax rounds. And they said, no because it is a mix.  And that 748 is the closest thing we can get.
