I'm thinking about a new varmint gun, I'm stuck between a .223 and a 22-250. and now this kick butt sounding .204 ruger comes out. I'm really stumped on what to get now.

A friend has a .204 , he has shot a lot of chucks out to 400 yds . To date he has only shot 1 yote ( a yearling) with it , less than 50 yds . Not a true test , we will shoot a lot of yotes later this fall/winter . I shoot a 223 with 50 gr Nosler BTs , never had to shoot more than once out to 300 yds.

Dude im so wanting a 22-250 or the 204 ruger for coyote hunting. I want to save hides though so unless the 204 is fur friendly ( I doubt it) it probly wont be for me, the non handloader.

I couldnt decide so I bought two rifles a remington M700 VS SF in 220 swift and a Savage 10FP in .223 rem

Hows that Savage group?

I also have a savage varmint 40 rifle in 223 but its single shot kinda sucks for quick follow up shots I will keep it as a bench rifle, I bought the savage 10FP to be my field gun. I use a handload which ended up shooting just as good out of my new 10FP as it did in the varmint 40
my handload is a 55 grain sierra blitzking sitting on 27 grains of varget.

heres a picture of how the 10FP did at 200 yards though the gun is zeroed for 100 yards, this is a 10 shot group shooting prone with a bipod.

That some sure enough good shooting. Coyote/fox beware eh.

Ive herd good things about the ruger 204. pople were saying when loaded witha hornady vmax they dont pass through the yote.

I'm not into furs and stuff so that really doesnt matter to me, honestly I'd use my 30-06 on a yote but the smaller calibers I think are alot more fun. and slightly cheaper to reload
