RE: .204 Ruger?
Dan - what group?? I was in 3rd, 7th and SWC as well as USASOC and other areas on Bragg.
Many good comments.. Have been shooting the 204 since it came out. As to explosive bullets, true. However, I have seen it put the hurt on Groundhogs and a fox or two. I just built one off of a G2 frame with a 4x12 on it. Just for yoting.. update after the first session.
The 40 gr is a bit better and that is what I use. As for the 223, ain't much difference. Check the ballistics on them. Yes just due to bullet weight you get a minor gain in some areas.. but pound for pound.. close.. Cost seems to be falling for the 204. I will be setting up a 223 barrel as well.. we shall see.. 22-250 never "got wood" on that round.. no comment.. later.
