Same here was not ready for the primer problems. My local dealer , a major dealer i will add , says could be up to a year before he sees his primers. Maybe they should ban golf balls?????

Anyone know where to get cci small and mag primers????? This is crazy!!!!

Snow- rain -50 degrees -7 degrees wish it would make up its mind!!!! I have never rebarreled a rifle , I have heard how easy it is, iam a just a factory type of guy, until i started shooting longer distance at ground hogs, now this is a big step for me hahhah. I use a 6br for long distance the 204 s...

tokimini howdy neighbor mendon ny, I was looking to do the samething with my model 12 savage, rebarrel it to a 204 match, keep us posted on how it shoots

I agree 100 percent, you have way more knowledge for sure, I do almost the same prep , but no power prep tools for me, still in the manual mode. Thanks for the input!!

for getting dents out and prepping brass yes fl size , i read that after fire forming they fl size seems to me it defeats the purpose. As far as neck dies streightening out run out of the necks, if I m reading your comment right i may disagree. if the brass is not formed to your chamber yet, you rea...

That is my feeling exactly, why wreck a good formed piece of brass fl sizing it after you just formed it. like you say a pass with the body die and you are back at it if the bolt gets sticky. Thanks for the answer

I have been reading way to much!! Something I have read quite often is after sizing then loading new or fire formed brass they are saying after shooting they run the now fire formed brass back through a full length sizer die. Why??? After shooting brass is now formed to your chamber, now I am talkin...

Hi i have had great luck with the 32 or 39 sierra blitzkings, either shoots great out of my savage 204. i find for accuracy varget with the 32s and imr 4895 with the 39s.there are better powders for volocity i just have not got there yet to try themyet, you will have to work up loads for your rifle ...

thanks Rick my little savage is a hummer, Iam happy with the way it is now but as you know the search never stops!!! with varget iam shooting in the 2s, have not shot through the crony yet. I have a nice savage model 12 iam looking into making it into somthing????? pratical tactical br ???? I need g...

Anyone used the CFE 223 powder

how long you been married??? for my 10th anniversary i told her i looked it up for what i should get her for the ten year anniverdsary and i swore it said fiberglass, so I got her a new boat!!! Not sure where Ruger falls on the anniversay list but iam sure it is there. Iam closing in on number forty...

thanks for the info, any 39-40 gr bullet seem to do a better job on chucks, v mav, blitzkings, bergers (35-40 gr.)

Jerry nice to hear abut the bergers , another option to try. I am impressed with Ricks pics, and he has a super looking rifle. My little savage likes the 32s first groups out of the gun shot under half inch at 100. like I said iam just loading for the 39s. I will put a rifle basic trigger on it , i ...

thanks Rick, I am new to this 204, i have 6brs, and 223s so far this little 204 has been a blast to shoot. I am still working up loads, 32 bks are almost there, just starting with the 39s. Beautiful rifle you have, I have a model 25 savage, for now but after shooting the 204 i do have a saveage mode...
