    Brass is 223 so cheaper and better selection (Lapua)than 204.Easy to reload. Can also get simliar velocities with good barrel life? Hard part is a 20 Practical is not that common in NZ a few shooters have the 20 Tactical. Seen some very tight groups with the Practical and if re-barrelling a 223 gives another option.
    Yes theres plenty of brass for the 204 and it's a factory rifle. 20 Practical is a build/gunsmith job.
    Hey Redbang what can you running and who built yours/whats the stock,action,barrel etc? Bet it would do some good damage on those South Island bunnies!
