.204 will do just fine. I own 4 of them, I hunt with my .204's 99% of the time. I, like most have had great success with the 35gr Bergers and 39gr Sierra's. Do your job and the rifle/bullet will do theirs
Wish Lapua made .204 Brass. We use Nosler and it is $$$There has been some that have lost coyotes in our area with the 32 grain Vmax on an angled shoulder blade shot, but I have never lost one with the 39 SBK, it will poke right thru the blade. Most body shots are bang flop! The plastic tip so also the hollow point underneath on the 39 SBK is larger than the 40 Vmax bullet.. my experience with it is, for killing coyotes and minimal fur damage, it is just what I need.
I am seeing 204 ruger brass showing up everywhere here.
Back to the OP's question on rifles - I'm interested to know what folks are running for 204 factory rifles. I just started looking, would like to find something I can get to 1/2 moa either out of the box or with minor modifications like replacing a stock or trigger. What are the best factory options out there in 204 Ruger?You guys that shoot .204's…please tell me some stories about your guns, barrels/lengths , bullets, powders, and velocities….what are your limitations? Thanks
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like CZ offers this chambering anymore.CZ Varmint with 25.5" barrel easy 3/8" or smaller 3 shot, sometimes a ragged hole, depends on operators frame of mind at the time!
What kind of accuracy are you getting out of the Savage? I see they make one with a 22" barrel , threaded for suppressor and has the quick change barrel feature. But do they shoot tiny groups?Savage 16 stainless, 22" pipe
Encore ProHunter 28" pipe
32gr Vmax Fiocchi Factory, I got a deal on a 1000 rounds I couldn't pass up when I bought the Savage.
