Just picked up some Fiocchi .204 40gr ammo to try out... As soon as this snow goes and I can get to my range, I will give it a try. Anyone with info on this ammo? How is the brass for reloading? Any info appreciated...thanks!

I hear ya Ramos... this 76 year old fart can relate to that!

I love Lee's Collet dies. I have them for every cartridge I load, that they make them for. I even have a couple or three custom-made Collet dies for cartridges they don't/didn't make them for. A person will probably need to bump back shoulders occasionally, even with a strong bolt action doing all ...

I am interested in this topic too. Im pretty new to loading also so I wont attempt to answer your questions. However, I think it will be helpful to know your purpose of the rifle. Food for thought. According to the Lee book: Hunting ammo is better off full length sized. Bench shooting is better off...

Hi I am new to a 204 too . But not to reloading. I bought the collet die set and pacesetter set to. I like to have 2 sets of Die's per caliber that's just me. You can take a full length die adjust it and use it as a neck sizing die. I have a decapping die to take old primers out. Before I got my co...

I want to load some .204 Ruger ammo on my new Lee press, but being a beginner at this I need some input on which dies to purchase. Which would be better, the Lee 3 die Pacesetter set or the Lee collet dies? I read that if using the same rifle, they need to only be neck sized. All the ammo will be sh...

Very nice!

Why would you want to take a chance and have a deer run off and die a slow death. I love to hunt and have for the last 60+ years and have never lost a deer. Hunt humanely and use a proper caliber..

Excellent! Works great! Thanks!

In the meantime, you can change the style to the default 'prosilver' in the control panel if the text is unbearable.

Much better

Hi fox. I put one on an AR .223 & it's a nice scope. The eye relief is not very forgiving, you have to get it pretty much the same every time. The very first time I used it at the range, the elevation turret came completely out of the scope. The bright side is I sent it back to Vortex & wit...

X2...hard to read with these old eyes

I have been thinking of putting a new scope on my .204 Ruger Predator. I like what I have read about the Vortex CROSSFIRE II 6-18X44 AO. I would appreciate any opinions that you guys have on this scope. Most of my shooting will be targets..

As a newbie to reloading, which way is quieter.....tumbler or sonic?

Great story Silverfox! Really enjoyed it...thanks!
