[QUOTE="the shotty, post: 620633, member: 27217"] As I stated before, I feel like the .223 performance lacks, even more so when you cut the barrel length down. Secondly I've made the mistake of using surplus ball for hunting twice. Both times were good shots, one at 25 yards one at 75 yards lost both. According to shooter a 40 gr 204 at 3500 has over 400 fps and about 100 ft lbs better and half the drop that my pet load for the .223 has at 300 (55 gr b-tip at just over 2900). Fps number on the .204 is a guess of what I could attain from a shorter barrel. In looking at the .20 practical, it seems like I gain a lot over a .223 performance wise and is cheaper to produce. But again this is just how I see it and looking for the best route to go. Again thank you all for the replies, keep the input coming [/QUOTE]
