[QUOTE="TOM H, post: 492002, member: 306"] Long before the 204 the Br guys played with the 222mag case. They moved the body forward changed the shoulder angle. You can check the cases out on this site they were called 22-40/22-45 [url=http://www.6mmbr.com/compcartridges.html]Competition Cartridges[/url] and I think at one time they even did 35 degree shoulders. If you take those old wildcat cases formed from the 222mag and neck them down to 20 cal you be pretty close to the 204 case. I shoot customs in 221FB,222,222AI,223 and 223AI and I have a factory Rem 722 in 222mag also a 22BR. Alot of good cases out there if it was me I'd do the 22-204 those 22-40 etc won alot of matches was a better case than the 222mag. One of my early Br rifles was chamber for the 6x47x45. You can get on BR site join the forum and there some older shooters that post there may have some loading data for those 22-40 etc and you could get hold of Walt Berger he still may some. [/QUOTE]
