Setting up for .204 ruger question?

[nomad 68]

Hello all, what do I need to buy to reload this caliber to load it with my rcbs rock chucker. besides dies and trimmer? I will likely be going with a set of lee dies.Thanks

Be sure to get a powder funnel that is good for .20 caliber. Most universal ones only go down to .22 cal.

Try and get one that is specifically for .20 cal as the .17 caliber ones restrict the powder flow more than you think.

Also to deburr the flash hole the common, universal size (22 and up) are to large. I threw mine into a drill press and ground it down carefully until it fit for an expedient quick fix but eventually bought a proper one.

Take your time and make a list then put in one order from Sinclair International. Saves buying then re-buying again later.

Powder funnel for sure as surfdod mentioned,i also had to get a different cleaning rod. Got one that works for 17 as well.

Good advice on the powder funnel. Dexterity would be another good thing to ask for. Those bullets are itty bitty.

Funnel was really the only issue for me. I ended up with a Satern brand aluminum funnel. Well designed and well worth it in my view.

One thing that I was sure glad I had was a little crow case trimmer. It sure sped up trimming
