204Ruger

Can anyone advise me of a source for new Winchester 204 brass ? Thanks

The last Winchester 204 brass I saw was in Anchorage in 2012, IIRC. I had to get 200 pieces of Nosler for my new CZ.

Sorry, no line on a source for WW .204 Ruger brass, but check out Norma or Nosler brass.

I got 2 bags of Win 204 brass from Cabelas online about 2 months ago and 2 bags from BPS in store about the same time. Of the 400 cases, ~100 cases were deformed in the shoulder area similar to another thread posted in the 204 reloading section. I have misplaced the receipt so I may/am out about $30 for the bag. The lots #'s to avoid are in the other thread but I think one is LF03 which I ended up with.

Graf & Son has Nolser brass for ~$45/100, I got some of this and the 1st bag I opened looked like the Nosler "prepped" brass ($50 for 50 cases but no work needed) when compared to the Win brass I got. All I've done to this Nosler brass is straighten a few neck dings and chamfer and trim a few long ones to a more consistent length.

I would avoid the Win brass as there were numerous dinged/out of round necks in my bags, and very hard to neck size. The Nosler seems much more consistent so far.

I agree; Winchester-branded brass is utter garbage now. It used to be my most-preferred headstamp for most cartridge cases, but now I won't accept any new stuff even if it's free (well, okay, I'll take it to the recycler if it's given to me absolutely free!).

Personally, my favorite 204 brass has been Remington, but I haven't seen that stuff anywhere for a couple or few years now, and all the online places I go also won't allow backorders on it.

I haven't seen any new Remington only in factory ammo. I did pick up some Winchester brass. It was at bass pro 4 bags. The only brass I have seen. I will use it sometime.

Best deal now is Hornady @ .40 ea.+ship

In had to buy norma. It turned out to be very good brass. I like the results at the range.

I got some Remington from Powder Valley and some a guy on Gunbrokers. Seems to be good brass.
