[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 508743, member: 21068"] If wind isn't an issue, he/you could shoot the 32 grn loads and not have a problem at all. They will be super flat shooting out to 300 without issue in the 204. You might still want to try the 39's and 40's if coyotes are in the bag. I haven't shot any coyotes yet with the 204, but many others tell me it's great up till about 400 yds. After that, they say it wounds and looses too many. I would think 300yds is plenty far for a 204 and coyotes, but that's just an opinion. I did shoot 1/2 dozen prarie dogs the other day with some 32 grain bullets in a 8-10 mph crosswind. Shots ranged from 100 yds to 175 yds. I wasn't holding off the target for wind any more than about 1" (or about 1/3 dog). 6 out of 6 hits off the hood of the pickup, resting on a pair of gloves. Even though I recommend the 22-250 for wind, I got a 204 for spotlighting jackrabbits. They are similar in size to a rockchuck. Less chance of a long range richochet into the darkness, and when spotlighting; generally 300yds +/- is max visible range on a jack. [/QUOTE]
