I went to buy a bag of Norma 204 ruger brass (100) and they wanted $208. I had to check what I last paid. But it was $115 per a bit over a year ago. Big price jump. I don’t really rate the Hornady stuff that highly. I’ve ordered a bag of Winchester $46 per 100 and a bag of Remington $69 per 100. I’ll post what I think when I get it. Interested to see other people’s experience with different brass in the 204.
I also have some once fired Sellior and Bellot brass. So I might reload some of that and see how it goes also.

Cooper wrote:Got the Winchester brass. As I was expecting. The quality doesn't look that great. I've load few up and will probably test on the weekend. The one bad thing I've noticed is the Winchester brass is pretty much at the maximum case lenght before even being fired. Pretty sure I'll be trimming after the first firing.

I just meant the S&B factory ammo is no good...pretty sure i still got a box stuffed in the back of the safe somewhere
(I used to let people new to shooting let it off at the range so not sure how much is left)
