[whitetail Junkie]

I'm interested in the 204 Ruger cartridge,I know that CZ,cooper,Ruger& Savage chamber rifles in the 204 ruger.

Does anyone know who else makes rifle's chambered in a 204 ruger? Thanks

As popular as the 204 has become I think you would be hard pressed to find a major gun maker who doesn't chamber for it. Pretty much pick the make you like then check their website to see how many different models it comes in.

My brother has one in a Remington sps varmint, for under $680 it shoots real nice.

I have a Rem. 700 with a heavy barrel, but with the short projectiles, it is hard to seat to the lands . Still trying to get a load that will do sub 1/2 moa with 10 shots.

My brother has a Rem 700 VSSF II (Jewell trigger @ 1#) with the same problem. First group he shot with Hornady 40 V-Max factory loads was 4.5". I did manage to get a 2.5" group but decided to load him some 32 V-Maxes instead. After trying about 50 different loads I finally found one that did about 4125 fps and 5 shots into 1/4". Unfortunately the can of RL 10X was empty so I bought 4 cans to load the remaining 750 rounds only to find that this lot of powder was about 5% slower. Not only did the velocity drop but the group opened up to over 1". I tinkered with the load and found that 3/4" was the best I could do. Brother has a heavy to handle 400 yard coyote gun but the gophers will be laughing at him.

I solved the 204 Ruger problems of free bore, overbore, load development and bullets too long for the magazine by designing and building my own wildcat that I call the 20 EXTREME. I went through 153 targets (780 rounds), each with a different load under, shot from 50 to 300 yards under varying conditions during load development. The aggregate average group size for the 153 targets was 0.68". I have a few 1/3" groups to add to this picture of my best loads.

If it is a 9 twist it would work great up to the Berger 50 VLD BT which should fit similar to the 55 VLD pictured. Would be happy to help you put a rifle together.
