Hi halcon,

The only info I' ve read or heard is located on the Ruger web site. I didn' t think to check the ammo manufacturer' s yet...other than it' s a V-Max bullet.

RE: .204 Ruger

The new round is based on the .222 Rem Mag case and not the .223 case.

4,000+ FPS aught to get some attention.....

I built one three years ago on a .223 case and I can attest to the fun this little caliber has in it....I hope they' re very successful in this venture.

RE: .204 Ruger

Midsouthshooterssupply is already taking orders for ammo. Supposed to be here in February. Ruger is supposed to have 5 rifles out by March. #1B,#1V, regular bolt action, all weather version, target model.

Midsouth also is taking orders for T/C Barrels.
