[QUOTE="Guy M, post: 296534, member: 8622"] I've put a lot more .223 rounds downrange over the years, but I'm enjoying the .204 a lot! I've got the little CZ varminter, topped by a simple 12x Leupold. Do my loading with Wilson dies, and it's just a hoot on our local rockchucks!

It worked just fine... [IMG]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k129/GuyMiner/hunting%20photos/IMG_1195.jpg[/IMG] No recoil. 3800 fps with 40 grain Hornady V-Max bullets and excellent accuracy.

I like the .204, but if a guy chooses a .223, he's just got the more popular cartridge, and that has some advantages. My oldest son uses a .223 Bushmaster AR-15 varminter with a 6.5-20x scope.
