For example, you can make .22-250 cases from .308, even though .22-250 is actually derived from .250 Savage. It's pretty common to make 7.7 Japanese from .30-06, even though the head dimensions are different. .204 Ruger is a bit of an exception, because Ruger and Hornady chose to base it on the .222 Remington Magnum, an essentially obsolete cartridge. The ironic thing here is that the success of the .204 will give .222 Rem Mag owners a guaranteed source of brass. I wouldn't be surprised to see the .204 case catch on as a basis for new wildcats.

I just thinking of the majority of persons who don't reload or are not the technical type to re-work existing brass. I forgot to add the 38/357 and the 45 to the 2nd choice list.   [Reply]  [No Email]
