[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 12266, member: 313"] If you want to ZAP little critters out to 200yds or so the 204 Ruger should be fine. For shooting longer range you will find that the tiny 32gr bullets loose velocity very quickly and are rather wind sensitive. From 200yd to 450yds the 22-250 or 220 Swift with 50-60gr bullets win hands down. I might add, however, that I've killed groundhogs out to 350yds with my .221FB and a 40gr B-Tip,so its not impossible to stretch the practical limits of the 204 or any other cartridge.
