The .204 is a great flat shooting caliber with light recoil very good accuracy and flat shooting with plenty of knock down power and it is easy on the hides/fur!
Let Us know how the new .204 works out and what Brand and grain of bullet You choose!
Thank you! I especially appreciate the ammo advice. It's been slim pickings as far as ammo is concerned. I was able to find some Winchester Supreme 32 gr Ballistic Silvertip and Hornady Varmint Express 45 gr. We'll see how those do, but I'll definitely check out the Blitz Kings as soon as I can find some.
The rifle arrived at the FFL today and I'm picking it up tomorrow. I plan to take it out this weekend and in between hunting turkey's I'm going to do a little coyote hunting. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to put one down!
