That's only $21.00 per hundred delivered!!! Sure wish I could have latched onto a deal like that one. I have about 270 pieces of usable Hornady .204 brass out of the 300 factory rounds I bought. I have stretched a few primer pockets during load testing (26 of them), lost a couple in the grass, and two of them had the necks crack on the first firing from the factory.

My first thoughts about the lack of Hornady factory brass led me to purchase 500 Remington .222 Mag casings. I have already fire formed and neck turned 45 of the Remington .222 Magnum casings and have another 40 of them partially neck sized and ready to be primed and loaded for fire forming. Until the factory brass and these eighty-five .222 Mag casings I am now working with need replacement, I think I'll hold off on fire forming more of the .222 Mag casings. I did lay in 500 of the blem 32 gr. V-Max type bullets when Midway or MidSouth had a sale on them and will use those for fire forming now.

Has anyone heard when the brass people will begin making brass for the .204? Saw some stuff on e-bay but though I was hallucinating when I saw what the bid prices were .

GHD: Yes and I have been meaning to thank you PUBLICLY for the great favor you did for me and for trusting in the ol'Gipper enough to send them before my postal m.o. got to you! Thank you! You are a gentleman and a scholar of all things outdoorsy!
I am compulsive about my brass! I once searched for at least 20 minutes for a 17 MachIV brass that I knew I had shot in a Prairie Dog town and just could not seem to find! That missing brass saved the lives of at least 10 Prairie Dogs that afternoon. I eventually found that piece of brass in my daypack which had been lying next to me as I was shooting from the prone position! It must have ricocheted (when I ejected it) off of my spotting scope and bounced away from the other ejected brass and into the unzipped pack! I simply refused to leave that stand until every hole in my 17 MachIV's MTM cartridge box had brass in it!
Yeah I will be happy to see the 204 brass hit the market maybe I better get on a list somewhere! I have enough to be comfy for the winter but come spring I want about 400 more ready for the intensity of Colony Varmint Hunting!
You wouldn't happen to be missing three 223 Federal brass by any chance are ya GHD?
Thanks again (publicly) for the big favor you did me on that brass! It was clean and in great shape I thought!

Smoker,
The first 204 case that I resized in my never used Redding F/L die...got stuck. It too was properly lubed, I don't know what happened. I removed it and I have not had a problem since. WIERD
