caught this dude crossing our back pasture, ran in, grabbed my little .204 handi rifle, put the crosshairs right between his eyes, and lights out, for a cheap little gun shooting 1-1 1/2" groups @100, just shy of 150 yards, i didn't think this was too bad, i'll take lucky any day[:-]

When I shoot critters with my 204 with 32gr bullet, it usually won't exit at all. Just blows up on impact. Did you see entrance/exit wound. Those eyes are freaky.

RE: coyote with a .204
yea the eyes are freaky lol did that to a deer once with a head shot at 20 yards with a 30-30, at first appearance it really freaked me out didnt realize a bullet would make the eyes pop out of the sockets.

I don't know too many people that have got the 40gr to work well, at least from hornady. Some reloaders are doing ok.
I shoot 32gr too. Good job. Looks like a nice coat.
