I ordered 500 from Midway. I think it was around $65.00. When I ordered they said they had a shipment coming in the next week but wasn't sure how many back orders were ahead of me. Still haven't heard anything yet.

I finally gave up on trying to get Win. brass (at a decent price) so I ended up buying 400 rounds of Hornady 32 gr. factory loads for $11.03 a box. They are grouping under .5 at 100 yards with a 5 shot group and according to my chronograph they are averaging 4065 fps. This will work for now. Midway said it would be early summer before they expect another shipment if then. Another supplier said they would get loaded Win. rounds before they get the brass and they also didn't expect it till early summer so I decided I better get what I could at this price.

Good deal on finding you some brass Melvin,I look forward to hearing how your 204 works on varmints and how it does at longer range?That is a cool little cartridge.
