So have wanted a 204 ruger for awhile but after doing some research it seems its not all what is was cracked up to be. Lower fps than claimed and many acounts of not dropping yotes like other rounds. Anyone have one or info/suggestions.


what cartridge are you comparing it to ?

The 204 will push a 40 gr pill just under 4K fps and is laser beam flat. 0 at 200 yds will be .5" high at 100 yds and 4" low at 300 yds. Buy a Tikka T3 and it will shoot 1/2" groups all day long if you do your part. Because the bullet is travelling so fast, animals die from "hydrostatic shock" with proper shot placement. I've been shooting custom .17 and .20 caliber wildcat rifles for years and they get the job done.

500 yd coyote kill .. fst fwd to 2:00

crow at 467 yds

coyote DRT 2:30 min mark

Just read some reviews and that was something I noticed, was just wondering what the board thought. Guess I will stick with it and see if I can find a deal.

I think there are some on sale at Euro Optics right now but work has it blocked.
