[QUOTE="coyotemaster, post: 2080628, member: 2479"] No I get it!! I built the Predator before the .204 was really taking off and may have gone .204 instead. Nagel doesn't state a B.C. but I've settled on .230 as a workable number. One huge disadvantage of the 4100 velocity is shortened barrel life, I'm on #2 now in 10 years. Energy transfer kills and the heavier bullet at 3900 vs. Lighter @4100 is likely a push. I considered building a .17/.204 in an AR platform as I had .17 bullets/ cleaning rods etc. I think it would have fed well due to case taper of .204. There's a guy who shoots coyotes on contract for farmers and shoots a .204 AR 15 and kills over a hundred per year with 39 Sierra, that's a testament to its lethality. Backreading: I loaded 27.7 Ramshot Big Game with the 4100 load. The new Barrel won't do it. I'm at 25.8/4030 now but it's working. I think velocity is key with sub bores to get hydrostatic shock. The 30 Gold bullet is no longer available with supposed B.C. of .270 I personally think that B.C may have been optimistic. [/QUOTE]
