[QUOTE="Nomosendero, post: 457631, member: 3622"] Sorry if stated in a confusing way. I meant as for example 6.5-06 would be a 30-06 case & necked down to 6.5 cal. So, I am saying the 204 case, but necked up to .22 cal. The case is the old 222 Rem. Mag blown out, so a little more cap. than a 223AI & would not need fire forming. Yes, the same wt. 20. cal. flyes better, the same could be said comparing many calibers of course, but I can go up to 75A-Max in 224, which will have a higher BC(435) & smack Coyotes much harder with the 20 gr. more wt. & further using this case. A std. 204 can't handle the 55 Berger, so in either case a non-std barrel would be in order. I mention this case when thinking of this 53 gr. V-max thinking how it would be a nice closer range Varmit load. With the 22 cal, you also have 75 OTM, 77SMK & so many others, many more choices. I was very enthused about the 204 in the past, not so much now. [/QUOTE]
