Loading .204 Ruger

Showing how I load up some .204 Ruger with 40 grain V max .204 diameter.

[@marcthomas2482]

Good stuff! I have zero experience with .204 Ruger. I will be referencing the .45 Colt videos when I get my dies and sizer!

[@jw-sigp2258]

.204 has super high velocity, low recoil, and flat trajectory. Saves pelts on coyotes too. Pin hole going in and no exit hole. Thanks for watching and all the support.

Nice bro🤜🤛💯

[@jw-sigp2258]

Thanks for watching bro. .204 Ruger is crazy fast and super low recoil.

Good info, dude. Congrats on hitting 1K!! Not loading. 204 Ruger, but I'll listen to the info. Have a great week!!

[@jw-sigp2258]

Thanks for watching. I load quite a few other rounds as well. I might work on reloading some 22 hornet next. I’ve been reloading 45-70 quite a bit lately.

@@jw-sigp2258 Nice! I'm still a fairly newbie to this and just done 9mm and .223 so far. Will be starting 6 Creedmoor soon as I get more into learning PRS with my new bolt action!! Always looking to learn more tricks and tips in the loading game.

[@jw-sigp2258]

@@ChadKelly7 What powders you using in 9mm? Power pistol, cfe pistol, and longshot are amazing in 9mm. But there are many other powders that are good in 9mm too. Those are just the ones that have done best for me with 124 grain plated or cast bullets(powder coated).

@@jw-sigp2258 Found some TrueBlue and got a lot of CFE Pistol as well. I've not even been loading much 9 the last several months. I got a decent load now with the True Blue, then moved over to other projects. My time is very limited and trying to get time for all my interests is difficult. Lucky to do the big things I want each week. I need a clone 🤣

[@jamespugh]

Good video. Congratulations on the 1k. 204 is speed king for sure. Vermint killer trying to save pelts theo on yotes or foxs or bobcats.

[@jw-sigp2258]

Thanks for all of your support and help James. Can’t wait to see how these loads do on coyotes.

@@jw-sigp2258 lot bullet options out for .20cal from Barnes to xtream. Hornady offer lead free Verision of the vmax also

I'll probably be picking up the Lee hand press. Total reloading newbie here, thanks for answering all the questions. So, are you using lube on the casings in this vid? Do I need to use it? I'll probably start with new unfired brass.

[@jw-sigp2258]

I use lee sizing lube when sizing fired cases. After sizing brass I tumble it in a vibratory case tumbler. The Frankford arsenal tumbler isn’t bad and Lyman makes a good one too. The tumbling media I use in tumbler is Lyman tuff nut. Best of luck to you.

[@jessebodey9421]

Have you used a 1/10 twist barrel with those loads?

[@jw-sigp2258]

No. Only 1:12 twist. Thanks for watching.

[@John-fz8uo]

What about putting the primer in? Same hand unit?

[@jw-sigp2258]

Yes same hand press and I have videos dedicated to just priming cases with lee hand press.
