[QUOTE="mcseal2, post: 566998, member: 22030"] My respect for the 204 continues to grow, I am up to 6 coyotes with mine and the 40gr V-max now. I got one off a cow carcass night before last at 200yds and it dropped in it's tracks. It was a broadside lung shot. The second coyote on the carcass circled downwind to see what the heck I was and I got 2 shots at it standing still inside 200yds with it's body mostly hidden in thick tall grass. I shot at where it's lungs should have been twice, but I don't think the little bullet ever made it through all the vegetation to get to the coyote. That is an instance where I think my 6mm would have made a difference, I've made shots like that with it before. Yesterday morning I got another one while checking electric fence to see what the rutting deer had torn up. I shot it at around 200yds also, it thought it was hidden in some tall grass, I couldn't see much below his head. Turns out that was enough as I dropped him with a neck shot right in the throat. I should have tried that on the coyote the night before instead of trying to get a bullet through to his body. [/QUOTE]
