This was two weeks ago. These coyotes all hated the .204 Ruger.

I know some guys on this site and trust them. http://www.204ruger.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=18&sid=448d6c270a373e8caf09e48 f440dab8e
I've seen what my Remmy VSSF II can do to critters. It's very deadly. DON"T shoot 32 grain bullets at a coyote. I use 39gr Sierra BK's. Some guys are using 40 and 45grainers.

I can understand Berg, the difference being... you're link is a website attributed to the shooting, buying and promotion of .204 Ruger caliber. The link I provided you provides insight from a few predator callers that I consider to be fairly well experienced and educated in the ways of coyote hunting.

I don't think anyone would argue that a .204 will/can/does kill coyotes. I do, however, believe the majority of succesful predator callers you ask will tell you there are better choices for a calling rifle. The 22 centerfires are undisputed by most as the

To each their own. Mine stays in the safe until I see a crow or groundhog worth playing with.

If you are just wanting to kill coyotes and don't give a rats batooty about trying to sell the hide, than there are better choices. BUT for every big hole blown out the back side of a coyote, $4. comes off of the lowly $10. price that they are worth.
Of the 64 coyotes that I've shot with my .204, I lost 3. Simply do to bad bullet placement, no blame can go to the caliber or bullet. I do reload and have used the 35 and 40 gr. bergers, and they both seem to work very well.

Some guys seem to think that you gotta use a .25 cal. even. [8D];)
