[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2869109, member: 116439"] YES SIR! I agree, you can get Lapua .223 brass and neck down to a .204 and make a 20 Practical or Tactical. The only brass I could get for years. for the .204 Ruger, was Hornady or Nosler Custom. Nosler Custom was much better than Hornady and twice the price. We actually gave away our .204 Hornady Brass to other LRH Members. If we build another .204 I think it will be a 20 Practical chambered for 39gr SBK So, we can use Lapua Brass. Hopefully it will give the same or less than << 0.156" group results as our .204 Ruger running 3,750fps. Don't need any faster fps, just looking for accuracy. At that fps with a 39gr SBK it is devastating on varmints and Predators with bucking the wind. Have shot out to 500 yds. We contacted Lapua several times (dozens) over the last 18 years and asked for them to manufacture Brass in .204 Ruger, but they still have not. I have hunted Chucks in NE PA for over 55 years starting with a .308 Deer rifle. Then to a 22-250 many years later. I bought a .204 Ruger when they first came out in 2004 and put it up against all the other Chuck Hunters shooting 22-250 and 6mm Rem. Shot a lot of chucks at distance before Kestrel or Leica.🫣 [/QUOTE]
