RE: which 204 ruger factory ammo
If you're going to buy factory ammo now but plan to handload, then I'd recommend buying whatever factory brand has the cases you plan to make your handloads with. So if you like Remington cases, buy Remington factory ammo so you have the brass to handload later. Another benefit is that it'll be fireformed to your chamber after you shoot the factory ammo, ready to neck size and start the load work up.
