Re: What size patches for .204
I was having trouble with the same thing in my 204s using a 20cal Dewy rod and jag.I switched to a carbon fiber 17cal rod and jag with much better results.Try a 1" or 11/8" for a good fit.I use bristle brushes when necessary,otherwise wipeout patchout works well.

Re: starting to reload .204 have a few ?'s

Re: Illuminated reticle scopes
Contact Brad at CRT.(click on logo at top of this page).I used a Hawke sidwinder tactical 6.5-20 x 42 w dual color(red/grn)reticle last year on Prarie dogs.I didn't use or need the illuminated reticle,but I can see that it would work well in low light conditions as it has variable intensity settings...

Re: starting to reload .204 have a few ?'s
A Lee neck die should work.Prep that Federal Brass,including flash hole deburr,primer pocket uniforming,trimming(minimum,only enough to square up the mouth)deburring,and champher the inside/outside, of the neck.I have a couple dozen federal cases that have 12 loadings and still useable.A sinclair ch...

Re: Case Trimmer
I use a wilson for my 204s (3 different guns)and some necks barely extend far enough to trim(I just square up the mouth,after the first fireing).I run the tight ones through a redding body die.I would think,any collet type trimmer would work with a 20cal pilot.My Forster does.I honed out a wilson 24...

Re: First Hand Load
I was surprised to find that the 45gr Hornady SP shot so well in my 1:12 twist Ruger #1.Must be the longer bearing surface.

Re: Reloading basics
I switched to XBR 8208 for all 204 loads in three guns(all 1:12) 32gr Varmageddon and 39 SBKs.Clean as you suggest.I use a forster neck bushing die + a Redding body die when needed.Have fun.
