YES you are correct.
If we make another 20 cal it will not be a .204 Ruger. Most likely a 20 Practical AI.
You can get .223 Lapua Brass, easy enough and put a 40 degree shoulder to add an extra gr or two in the case.
.204 Ruger is a .222 Mag case
I personally think that the .20 cal shooting 39gr SBK on top of H4895 is the NUTS for Varmint/Predators out to 500 yds.
The rig we have now is a Ruger Mark II 77 with "Target Grey" 26" Barrel and still shoots 0.156". Have the original Laminated Wood Stock and it now sits in a MDT LLS swing Chassis with a scope Rail.
Ruger rifles are hard to get after market Chassis & Scope Mount for-unless you buy Ruger.
