Altho I havent tried reloading .204,s what they say may be true.It wouldnt be Remington so much as Hornady is using a powder with a progressive burn rate that makes the leverrevolution cartridges go faster at lower pressures and cooler gases.They also use a bullet that is unavailable for reloading,meaning if you buy the new rifles you must use loaded ammo to get the specs they state.Also the older slower twist levers wont stabilise the new longer aerodynamic bullets.So if you reload about all you can get is the same balistics .30-30 or such always had.I havent heard this is the case with the .204 but Hornady designed the cartridge.I do know the ones I saw on an AR platform with fast twist barrels and 50gr to 55gr bullets were great at 500yds and have read articles where they really worked on pd,s at long range.Dont expect this new powder to be available soon if ever as they have well over 100 powders out there and it sounds like this one with progressive burn rate would replace most of them. samuel.I heard from some people at a gun store that i go to who use the 204 for reloading that they could not get the speed out of the cartridge. Apperently ruger is loading the cartridge with a new powder that is not available to handloaders. This site is GREAT!
