Yea I bet that tears up a barrel fast. Like I said I"m sure that would kick you out of the scope if not brake your forehead. Man 5300 f.p.s. is the only way to get out past 1,000 yds. I think I"ll do some howeling in yhe morning,the breading season is almost peek. good luck!

hey 4buck, yea I"m sure it"s 4250 f.p.s. I bought about six boxes when I first got the 204. The guy gave me a box of the 32grn. winchesters, but I never even opened the box. thats hornady in rugar, I don"t know what you got rem. or savage may not go so high, I don"t know.

RE: What caliber?
Are you looking for an all around gun? if so a .270 will kill a coon, possum, coyote, prairie dogs, gofers, bobcats, deer, fox,ect.. but it might be a little overkill for a squirrel or rabbit.Im not saying the .204 is a bad gun, its just i have never heard anyone talk about it. If your a real good shot, you could go cheap and get a .17 caliber, just make sure you remember these words LOCATION!!,LOCATION!!,LOCATION!!

Hey ridgerunner, man your right, it"s 3900f.p.s. I"m a bone head. It is the 32grn. that runs 4250 or 4225. I have 5 or six boxes of them In the gun safe, I"m sorry. I guess it realy does"nt matter much at that speed, a hit is a hit and a miss is still a miss.

Everyone but the .243 for yotes. I hunt foe fur so the .204 and the .223 is two of my top choices. Just a little advice...If you get the .223 make sure to get it ackley imp. Mine is and the way I role mine its shooting only 200-275 feet per second slower than a .22-250.

Yea man like I got a shoot a coyote man yea thats right!!!!!
WOW!! I will still say why get a 204 when there is .220 swift, 22-250or a .223(I would take the swift) It just does not make sence to me.I do like the .223 ,its a great round but my swift is just the $hit for coytes and the likes.
