[QUOTE="Forester, post: 463807, member: 11102"] I love the 204, I have a trued and timed Savage with a Boyds thumbhole stock and a 26" Shilen 10 twist barrel that loves 40gr Noslers. Groups in the .3s when the shooter cooperates. Mine runs 3850fps with a full load of 4895, I get just slightly flattened primers and no other pressure signs. Brass life if north of 8 reloads so far. The 22-250 has its place but these days I think its role is getting narrower. At longer ranges it should shine, but if I am going to specifically build a rifle for over 500 yard varminting I am probably going to skip the 250 in favor of something like a 243AI or something like a fast twist 6 Dasher.
