[QUOTE="whitely, post: 190941, member: 5167"] I have a 204 and I am really happy I picked that round. Loaded with 39gr Blitzkings to around 3800 fps, it has an awesome trajectory and bucks the wind better than all the .22's. Here is a wind drift comparison I did with PointBlank 1.8, using published the published BCs from each company.
