[QUOTE="threejones, post: 576840, member: 27464"] Both rounds will be great for you. I've shot both out to 300yds (the .223 much longer, but I'm confident the 204 would keep up, I've just never had the chance to push it) If your aware of what each round will do, and you already have a deer rifle, it really comes down to the rifle itself. They're both great for little critters, neither has the recoil of a 243, it's more a matter of load vs rifle weight (or either could be fitted with a break, making even a super light recoil like a pellet gun) Bullet selection is really the only big difference. I say find the least expencive rifle that will meet your accuracy needs of either cal. Worry more about the gun, you've already narrowed down the cal selection as much as you really need to. [/QUOTE]
