Wow is all I can say. I have only got 50 rounds through mine so far...and waiting for social distancing relaxation to get back to the range. This is a 10 shot string I shot with factory Hornady loads gathering brass. They may have been Dogtown (Norma) factory as I did not mark my target? Either way,...

I'm glad I saw this. When I first went to Stainless Pins a few years ago, all was good until I ran my first batch with 22-250. It took forever to shake all the pins out (a problem I had not run into yet). I couldn't even imagine how bad .204 would be. Since then, I have been running smaller calibers...

I really like Hotwells. Haven't been there in a couple of years but used to shoot there a lot when I shot competitive back in the 80's/early 90's.

Thanks for the welcome broper. Glad to hear you have had good luck with BLC-2, I read a couple of other reviews which made me want to give it a try. Skipper...we're practically neighbors. I get up to 10-Ring reloading from time to time and one of my best friends owns a fabrication shop off of Jones ...

Thank you Bill and Rick for the warm welcome. As this is a new caliber for me, I expect to learn a lot. I have been reloading since the mid 70's (earlier if you count helping my Dad) and currently do about a dozen calibers. I did finish my 60 rounds today, but skipped the H335 as the BLC-2 was dropp...

Howdy from Fort Bend County Texas. Purchased a Ruger M77 MkII Hawkeye Predator (in 204) back in February. Only made it to the range once so far, but quite pleased except for the trigger. I had no brass, so purchased a 50 round box of Dogtown ammo with the Nosler 32 gr. Varmint and a box of 20 Hornad...

My first post. Been going through the 204 handloading posts while waiting for my account to be activated. Nice looking for a used 8567. Too bad you had a bunch of grunge built up to worry with before you got to loading. I've been loading with MEC loaders since 1976 or so. Started with a 600 Jr. in 1...
