[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 449714, member: 21068"] +1.........I checked the ballistics program....and I was suprised! The higher BC 40 grainers put the 204 in the same category for sure. Especially if you can get that kind of velocity (3900 fps?). We'd have to step up to 55 grain .224 bullets to get the BC of the 40 grn .204 bullet. In order to match that velocity we gotta go with the 22-250AI or 220 Swift type of cartridge. Only downside is maybe energy on target.? I know a 55 grn 224 will take down a coyote at 500 yds, but I don't know if a 40 grn 204 would?? [/QUOTE]
