Re: Finding brass

How much are you looking for? I've got 1000+ Norma & will part with some. I'll have to check what I paid. Selway armory has Hornady. Use the search AMMOSEEK & push in reloading then brass. :camper:

Re: Ball vs. Stick powders

Thanks Bill, got it. 2230/X-terminator, same load data. Appreciate it. Not much mention about primers. In my moderate to hot climate, no need for magnum primers with ball powder? Just open for suggestions from you guru's. Thanks,

Re: Ball vs. Stick powders

Just the kind of information I was hoping for guys. Thanks and anyone else just jump in speak up. Jim, roger the hot chamber. I suspect that's a huge problem that some overlook. Glad to hear x-terminator is doing well, I was just given 8 brand new 1# jugs. Thanks to all,

Ball vs. Stick powders

I'm trying to educate myself on powder. I have quite an array of different powders that have been purchased or given to me. I'm reaching out to some of the advanced reloaders for their opinions on ball vs. stick powders for use in the calibers I load for, 204, 222, 223, 22-250, & 220 swift. I li...

Re: Help with accuracy on a DTECH upper

jdohio, I guess I'm a little bit confused. You said groundhogs your missing at 125 yds. & hitting at 200+. While those groups are not real small or uniform, I don't see how you can be missing many GH's @ 125 yds. What kind of groups are you getting @ 200+ where you say your hitting? I have seen ...

Re: Help with accuracy on a DTECH upper

Hi JD. First let me say my 1st 204 ar hated factory Hornady ammo. Your groups were great compared to my totally scattered 3-4" groups. It would shoot Fiocchi decent about .75 to 1". Next to say, lots & lots of 204's just will not shoot a 40 grainer. Looking at your groups where you hav...

Re: WTB: AR 204 UPPER

Thanks for the info. That looks like a nice setup! I actually just ended up going with a white oaks upper. Can't wait to try it out. Thanks guys You won't be disappointed with White Oak. They are some of the finest barrels I've ever shot. I know it's not their own barrel but the way they ream the c...

Re: New 17HMR Upper

Hi 204 AR, welcome. I put a Redfield 6x18 Battlezone scope on it & it shoots 1 to 1 1/2 moa. I might try some different ammo. Man, I love it, it's so much fun to shoot. At our range, at 200 yards our burm is 220 yards. 2 weeks ago my buddy put 10 sporting clay targets on that burm & using th...

Re: WTB: AR 204 UPPER

Hi Jason. What quality are you wanting? I'm building another one right now & have another that I just finished but it has the best components that be purchased down to Geissele triggers & some parts cerakoted by X-werks. All 204 AR's I build have match grade barrels. I just sold a discontinu...

Re: .223 howa 20" .223 rem.

Walt, that's an awesome group. Out of curiosity, what did the 5th shot make it? I've had a few like that in my 22-250 but I hate the powder, H380. You just never know how it's going to act. Is the 1-9 AR a RRA Coyote by any chance? My 1-9 Coyote shoots really fantastic for factory. Keep in with the ...

Re: .204 Ruger Popularity?

Welcome Mike! Bill K is correct, reloading is the way to go. But if your wanting factory 204, go to gunbot.com & enter ammunition-rifle-204 Ruger. I just looked & there is 6 different brands of 204 on there listed for sale by different companies. Internet order is the way to go for reloading...

Berger 30 gr. .204 bullets

Hello. Can anyone please tell me why Berger discontinued the 30 grain .204 bullet. Did it not shoot well? Did it have a hard time stabilizing? Just very curious because if I see some, I'd like to try them. Surely there is people out there that have shot them. Thanks,
JD :shrug:
