Which 204 brass do you guys like?
I did the same thing when I first started reloading for my 204, until I had a case split on the shoulder, even with a reduced charge. The gases escaped while fire-forming and left the bullet lodged in the chamber. Had a time of it getting the bullet out. Finally filled the barrel with Kroil and let it sit for a week or so. The bullet popped out with a good whack from a hammer and brass rod.Formed cases from Rem .222 Rem Mag brass when I first got the rifle--ammo was scarce then. It worked well, but was a bit of a bother to do all the fire-forming. Have been using Win cases since they became available and like them (have 1,200 of 'em)
