Dan, if I had it to do over, I would have got the 22-250. My 204 is flatter than the 22-250's I have shot against, and is an awesome chuck gun. But ever groundhog I have shot, the bullet explodes and does not penetrate even on neck shots. I just have very low confidense on yotes. And I cannot get the 40gr bullets to shoot well. Its night and day difference. 32gr, I get .7MOAout to 300 yards. 40gr, I am lucky to get 2MOA at 100 yards.
