Getting a 204 AR instead of a 223 AR- hear from old timers
From you old shooters need your input . I load both , I see very little diference in the two a few grain of powder or bullet they are very close . Whats your opinion.
I have a boat load of Army 223 brass and I am tiered of messing with it.

I guess I have a few questions...

If you see very little difference, why did you go with the 204 over the 223?

What do you mean by you're "tired of messing with it", in regards to the 223 brass?

If you see little difference, what made you go with the more expensive (whether you reload or not) 204, when there is so much 223 available? You can get "blasting ammo" on up through match grade and long range range ammo already loaded.

I'm not sure of your point here. Confused
