LOL well it is a good thing all people do not think that way. Thank god ruger and Hornady didnt, you wouldnt have your pet 204 and neither would I. I realize there are other cases to make the 20 zing faster. I have looked at PPC , 20 br, Vartag, Grendell etc. and others. Its my nature to want more. ...

Xcuse Me, I thought perhaps there may be a few people open minded enough to appreciate this info! sorry if i crossed the line!

Paid a visit to my local gun shop yesterday. Picked up a pound of 10x and got to talking 20 cal. The owner built a twenty cal on a rem 700 action. Lija 1:10 twist i It Fires the 6.5x47 Lapua case necked down to 20 cal. This gun is slinging 40 grain Bergers at 4400 fps on the crono. It is a 1000 yard...

Well I started barrel break in today on my Ar. She has a Rock River arms Lower and a Model one upper. Shilen 9 twist Stainless Bull Barrel, Les Bear Bolt carrier with shilen Bolt serial numbered and matched to the barrel. As of now she has a stock dps trigger. I ordered JP springs till I can save fo...

I have a leupold 6.5x20x50 IOn my 22-250 but a vx III Awsome optic. but more pewer than needed to coyote hunt in my opinion. I seldom set above 12x as it becomesharder to acuire target when moving. Here in Illinois yotes are nervous If you get a standstill shot shoot quick! Therefor the 204 in ar 15...

Wow 20 -,30x is allot of magnification. I spose it depends what distance you are shooting. I have a Leupold 6.5x20x50mm on my 22-250 I coyote hunt and do some targer shooting. However, When coyote hunting I have found it faster to get on target with the scope down to 12 x or even lower. For this rea...

Good point however for some reason manufacturer recomends high strength lock tight on threads over night? Perhaps they feel even the slightest shift say a tenth of a thousandth can effect accuracy? I will try and find out. But they recomend installing and letting loctite sit and cure overnight?

I covered my lower with duct tape before assembly as much as possible. It did a nice job of protecting finish. Yes I to used a schematic and you tube video. Between the two resources, It makes it very doable for us beginners. I am waiting on my bolt carrier to get here. Should have it teusday I am g...

Allen yes it is a rem 700 bdl in 22-250 It is nice for off hand shooting coyotes. I am sure the heavy shilen barrel on the ar 204 will not jump near as much. I will see next weekend. I Have all parts except bolt carrier and wrench. They should be hear Teusday! I have my lower assembled. I will post ...

Oh that rig pretty much is your old m 16 I beleive except 204 and semi auto? I put my lower together, I bought a stripped rock river and dpms parts kit piece of cake Let me know if you need assistance.

OK fair enough, However my 22-250 shoots a bullet only 20 thousands of a inch larger in diameter at about the same velocity. I can not see bullet impact for barrel jump. I guess is the diff between a .224 bullet and .204 the Holy Grail in bullet spec. I am not trying to be smart either and I appreci...

Also where I think faster twist could mean more recoil. The bullet leaves the gun impacting a steaper angle of rifle twist, Does this not make more recoil? I honestly do not know and have not read iTt anywhere. This just seams logical to me???? A steaper faster angle of twist will make bullet spin f...

Allen It stands to reason logicly to me that a 1 in 9inch twist would give more resistance than a 1 in 12 therfore more recoil. I am no physichist by any means just seams logical? I do not wish to shoot 50 grain bullets, I have a 22-250 for that. I want to shoot lighter faster low recoil rounds, and...

Your firing pin could very well be the problem. Midwayusa.com check vidio tutorials. They have a tutorial on checking firing pin punch depth etc. Hope this helps. Some primers have a heavier cup as well.

Hello I am not new to reloading, However ,doI need to use a factory crimp die when reloading for the Ar 15 in 204? This is my first 204 and ar 15 so I guess Im a virgin. I have around ten thousand cci 450 primers and both win 748 and Imr 4895 been very consistent powders in my 308 and 22-250. Just w...
