Oh yeah more energy down range. And the last but most important point, less wind drift for the 204 due to better vallistic co. If you cant put the first round in the target use your 223 semi auto to plunk away till u hit right.
Look man, you cannot compare a 40 gr. 20 cal to a 40 gr. 224 cal bullet, it's not apples to apples, due to the SD, the 40 is a heavyweight in 20 cal, and a lightweight in the .224 class. My guess is you have no clue about long range ballistics, but you think you do. That vallistic co. You mentioned, is actually
ballistic coefficient a simple measurement of how well a bullet slips through the air, compare the 40 gr. 20 to a 75 gr. 224, I have a 20 tac (the clone of the 204 on a 223 case) I shoot a lot at beyond 500 yards, but not with a 20 cal.
