I have been shooting the 204 ruger for a little over a year now and i am very well pleased.The cartridge has plenty of knockdown for yotes and is extremely flat shooting.I shoot a 38 grain hornady handload and my farthest shot on a yote has been 354 yards stopped the dawg dead in his tracks.Although on close range shots sometimes passes through so fast it doesnt expand as well,but that ,may just be my load.
