[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 179605, member: 2852"] If you run the ballistics of the 204 and compare them to any of the lighter weight .22 and .243 bullets, you will quickly see that it is a very impressive caliber. But the 32 grain bullets aren't as impressive as the 39 or 40 grain bullets in a 204. A 39 grain blitzking with a bc of .287 at a mv of 3800 is flatter than any 22-250 or 220 swift out to 500 yards and it just about equals a 55 grain bullet in a 243 win! And it does all of this with much less powder, less recoil, less noise, and better barrel life. I have personally worked with two 204 rugers and I have seen what they do to rockchucks at 600+ yards and it isn't pretty. I'm still waiting for Berger or JLK to make a 55 grain or 60 grain VLD bullet in .20 caliber. Stuff that pill into a 20 ppc or something like that and you would have the most efficient, smallest, legitimate1000 yard cartridge going! [/QUOTE]
