[QUOTE="1100 Remington Man, post: 1205781, member: 29824"] I looked at this a few years ago and went with .223 Rem in a Remington 700 with 26 inch barrel. When loading for Praire Dog shooting .223 Brass is way cheaper for volume loading. With 200 yd zero. .204 Ruger with factory load 40gr V-Max 300yds drop 13.6 526 FPE .223 Rem with factory load 53gr V-Max 300yds drop 16.9 559 FPE Same Loads at 500 yds .204 Ruger drops 28.1 inches with 404 FPE .223 Rem drops 35.6 inches with 431 FPE So .204 Ruger shoots flatter and .223 Rem hits harder. If shooting Praire Dogs Flatter would be good and if shooting Coyotes hitting them harder does not hurt .223 Rem. In truth both will work but if high volume shooting my vote goes to the .223 Rem. Good Shooting [/QUOTE]
