Ruger .204 owners/users Predator hunting
I'm looking for hard evidence from anyone who owns this caliber rifle and uses it to hunt with.
Looking specifically for predator info - bullets weights and kills (coyote-bobcat-etc.) you may have had.
Greatly appreciate your time and conversation
Ruger .204 bull barrel heavy stock - bipods
Hornady 40gr V-MAX bullets

Irish, I have 0 kills with a .204. My custom ordered AR should arrive next week. With that said, I've Emailed several guys that have used the .204 for the past couple of years, one guy shot over 100 coyotes just last year with his, and it has been shown that for the guy that reloads that the 35 gr. berger bullet is very effective on coyotes, and is easy on the pelts. I'm going to try laods with the 40 gr. berger and the 35 gr. berger and which ever I find to be the most accurate will be what I use this winter.
I've got a savage .204 that I have dedicated for prairie dogs and I'm using the 39 gr. Blitz Kings and have a great accurate load found that works wonders over a prairie dog town. BUT I've not shot any coyotes with it and don't plan to.
