So when I hear people say a 22-250 will perform better, not sure where they get thier information.
Ok I guess I have to spell it out for you like everything else.

.204

36 grains, 3640 fps, 1154 ft/lbs, BC: .267

Trajectory with 200 yard zero

300: -5.0 400: -15.1 500: -31.8

.22-250

55 grains, 3680 fps, 1654 ft/lbs BC: .257

Trajectory with 200 yard zero

300:-5.0 400: -15.4 500: -32.8


Go head and let me know when you figure out why you'd want a .204.




*Data from the Federal catalog*



Federal? Who shoots federal ammo. Man we roll our own around here. This is the guns forum.

Well, I have a 204 encore with a 26" barrel that kicks out a 32gr V-maxbullet at 4150fps and seen some that does it up to 4300fps with less than 29gr of powder. That has the same BC as a 22-250 40gr. You do the math. The best I ever seen anyone put a 22-250 40gr bullet is 4000fps and that took 12 more grains powder.

See there's a huge difference between you and I. I actually shoot and own these rifles. You keep reading about what we are shooting and believing factory ammo box's. So again spell it out forme? Even your own data shows a larger drop. You can't just go thru the internet and pick and choose the data that suits your arguments. You actually have to go out and shoot guns.

I shoot Federals.
