[QUOTE="Jason280, post: 1077726, member: 85493"] In all consideration, how much cheaper is loading .204 Ruger than say, .243AI? I know there is component cost difference, but in the scheme of things? Ruger ballisticians never put ".204" and "800 yards" in the same sentence and it's simply not an ethical combination. Someone mentioned .223 and 75gr Amax as a "minimum" or sorts, but I personally disagree with that, even. "Cheaper" solutions are .243Win, 7mm-08 and .284Win Or .260 Rem. At beyond 400 yards, pelt damage won't be as bad as you may think. Those bullets have shed a good bit of velocity even by the 400 yard mark. And if pest control is the only concern, a heavier VMAX bullet in any of those calibers will work well. [/QUOTE]
