My 527 came with rings.
They were way higher than I needed, so I bought a medium set though.

I just got my 204 and haven't ordered the dies yet. What do you guys think of the Hornady seater die with the sliding alignment sleeve?

Traded

Picked up a new (to me) 204 to play with and need some bullets.
Have the following .224 bullets to trade for 204 bullets. Looking for 32 to 40 gr

(100) Hornady 55 gr V-Max
(75) Nosler 55 gr Ballistic Tips
(58) Sierra 55 gr Spitzer Boattails #1365
(45) Remington 55 gr Power-Lokt HP

Good job!

I just licked up my first 204, plan to leave the old trusty hornet at home and give it a go on coyotes/fox this winter.

For what it's worth, the most accurate barrel I own is a 12" SSK contender barrel in 6mm-223.
Velocity will change and the preferred powder could change if a lot was cut off, but can't think your accuracy should be affected.
