Welcome back everybody it is the holidays if you're listening right now

And that means one thing around here at vortex and that's our holiday cartridge talks

I've got Jim to my right as per well not as per usual Jim. I missed you around here

You're not here all the time and Ryan mucking her and across from me. You know him

Mucky pd. Yeah

I've never heard that before did you make that up? I've listened or called him the the Wikipedia

On a different podcast. I said I started to call him wiki Ryan or mucky pd. I don't know Ryan hates it

Wikipedia is awesome Ryan you hate it. I'll probably keep doing it

We're gonna talk today about a cartridge you guys asked for it. We love it too. Mm-hmm. This is the 204

Ruger. Yeah, this is our second Ruger cartridge we've done in 10 minute talk

Yeah, we did the 375 Ruger, right? Correct. So yeah, now we're going to like a very different side of this spectrum

Yeah, this is yeah, like you said probably couldn't be more different in all the ways right Ryan

What's going on with this guy? Well a couple things right off the bat

I just want to point out Mark Bournemann got a deer the other day because he has his beard back

Whatever it takes I'm moving moving into the 204 Ruger a wildcat

Actually, that was brought to commercial I did joint venture between the Ruger firearms company and the brilliant

Ballastations at Hornady we start with one two 222 Remington Magnum now there's an obscure cartridge that nobody talks about

And then you neck it down to 20 caliber and you get the 204

32 grain Vmax at 4,200 25 feet per second stagering. It's fast fast fast fast fast

Okay, I remember when the 204 came on the scene and it came on the scene

Hot I remember we were out of standing right and like buzz buzz buzz. I look at the numbers

I look this thing. I'm like number one. Why don't I own one actually and then like maybe not as much anymore?
