[QUOTE="Reemty J, post: 2059461, member: 113694"] I will tell you my reasoning on choosing this bullet (39 SBK) in the .204 over others, the main reason is the BC is so high as it holds energy longer and drifts considerably less. I would think the 35 grain berger and the 40 grain James Calhoun double hollow point may be better for pelt damage, but as long as I am more careful on waiting for the broadside shot instead of 1/4ing away, the bullet performs well. Ohiolongarm was the one who 1st brought it to my attention and he was correct. When you pop a coyote with this round it just pounds them "instantly" dead...farthest one is 401 yards but from 100 to 350 a body shot "anywhere" is almost always instant death. In the past I shot a 22-250 with speer 52 grain hollow points @ 3700 fps, these are the ones with the large hole in the point...……...I was always amazed at how much the wind would push these...….I look at that .204 just like I do my 6.5 creedmoor and 6.5 PRC, I want the bullets with the highest BC, in the 6.5 PRC I shoot the Berger 156 EOL. You know pelt damage is one thing and its important, but out here in Mondamtana, with "some" wind I want to have every advantage I can to just hit them...….but opinions are like @$$h-les, everyone has one. [B]Merry Christmas to all you people out there, this is truly a fun bunch...….remember also what Christmas [/B]is really about...…...but if it was not for[B] EASTER[/B], [B]Christmas would have no meaning[/B]...…………...think about that! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙌☝️☝️☝️ [/QUOTE]
