I got lucky and found one the other day!

I am also looking at the Timney AR-15 trigger

...I haven't owned a black rifle since my Bushmaster VMAX 15 years ago..got rid of it in regret.

Anyways....better LATE than NEVER, eh?

I also had a Remington XR-100 in .204 Ruger


I reload and use QuickLoads..so I have almost 300 pieces of brass.....several boxes of VMAX and Bergers..small rifle primers...now I just need to figure out which powder(s) to use.


looking forward to meeting and talking with you guys!!

Any owners of the DPMS 204 Ruger....and opinons!


btw....my other shooting passion is shooting long range...read 1,200 yards and beyond with my custom 6.5x61Super...launching 139 gr. 6.5mm Lapua Scenars at 3,030 fps!!

My DPMS-barreled (24" fluted SS) AR really likes H4895 with 39 gr. BK's.

..I have been finding that out on various forums.

.....it's funny that DPMS comes out and states that it's barrel is best for 32- 36 gr. bullets.


Anyways, I shall see......I have some Hornady 32 gr. VAMX's and 35 gr. Berger flat bases.

I will need to get some H4895.

Thanks....


..anymore guys...
