Ah don't worry about it. I should have known better than to argue with a kid. Hope you got the answers you wanted. If you want any info on the 204 like loads and all, I have just started really. I love both 204 and the superfast 22 counterparts. In fact, I love all rifles. But too many people I know have burnt the barrels out of thier 22-250, and I wanted a little longer life. I was considering having my gunsmith build me a 22-243 middlestead. But I think his personal one he build, the barrel lasted him one season of chuck shooting and one trip to dog town. He's a gunsmith, he could care less about that.
