    22-204

    Does anyone have an oal length for say a 75eldm seated out to maximize case capacity?

    Also what velocity are people getting?

    Looking to improve on my 223 without going to a real barrel burner

    Also anyone know of a reamer available?

    The good old 222 magnum surfaces again. It died then ruger used it as the basis of the 204, now with a slightly different shoulder necked back to 224 it's hot again.

    I'm curious about this also...can it be done by simply rechambering an existing 223, 1 in 8 twist barrel?
