That is the same for my brother in laws .204. It just isnt IMO want it is cracked up to be. I think it is a great round for chucks or equal but anything above that, I am the same just dont feel confident in it. Hey we all have our opinions and experinces ,that is why they make more then one round!!! I am the same guy that deer hunts with a .300 wm. I just feel that I can take a deer at 300 yards or less with confidence.I have shot them with everything from .223 to a 45/70 and I justlike my .300wm.So with my .22 mag , .220 swift.243, 6.5x284, .270wsm, .300wm, and my 45/70 I feel I have all my bases covered. I still have an itch for a 7mm STW.
