t am in need of some, and all I can find is Nosler 250 round pack. I tried several different calibers of Nosler brass when they first got into the brass making game, and found it to be soft and low case life. Has anyone had any lluck with it. I have 200 rounds of Hornady and it does very well.

Natchez Shooters Supply has Hornady in stock, as well as the Nosler

Don't have a 204 ruger , but I bought some Nosler 222Rem Mag brass to make 6X47 brass and all of it was not Concentric one side the neck was way thicker than the other , so I'm not much of a Nosler fan .

At this point, I would say what ever you can get/find.
Dunno about their brass, but Fiochhi’s ammo shot exceptionally well for me. I sold the brass to some that needed it, was extra for me.

Too short. 204 brass is longer. I just saw some hornady 204 brss at scheels today and brunos has some. I have not seen it in about 4 years. While i have some i now have 50 pieces more.

The .204 Ruger was developed from the .222 Remington Magnum, not 223 Remington. The .222 Remington Magnum provides about 5% more usable (below the neck) case capacity than .223 Remington.
