the cartridge is based on a 223 that is necked down
Actually the .204 is a necked down .222 case!
but I feel like the .204 ruger is a specialty gun that may be a fad.
My .204 is a "specialty" gun for sure, e"specially" when it comes to killin' coyotes. Don't tell all the guys on the .204 forum that they've bought into a fad, might hurt someones feelings!
InYourOpinion, what "specialty" purpose was the .204 meant for?
