Default RE: Anyone know anything about the 204 Ruger

you have to very different prey catagories there, the areas do no permit .22 calibre bullets for deer. The minimum is a .243 but thats expensive for varmints. The .204 is a fast rnd is fast by 100-200 fps than a .22-250. I personally would go .22-250 because its cheaper to shoot, is only slightly slower and you can use heavier bullets. so you can drop a deer if no cops opr whoever are around, which there usually aren't, just don't say anything about it do the authorities. .22-250 has 1500 ft-lbs of energy at 200 with a 50 or 55gr bullets. I'm not sure if that helps any.
