223 or 204??

[NUshooter]

I have two 204's and three 223's and a 223 WSSM. Heck while I am listing them I have a 22 hornet, 22-250, and 17 HMR that I also use for varmenting.

I personally like my 204's the best of all. If you reload the round is very flexible and shoots well with a ton of different powders and bullets. For Coyotes I use a forty grain v-max with 30 grains BLC 2. Found that BLC 2 gives me the best velocity without a ton of pressure.

Don't get me wrong I like my 223's and others alot, but the flat shooting hard hitting 204 is what I take to the field when I go calling. Could be that of all my rifles I have spent the most time behind the trigger of my 204's and just feel very confident they will not ever let me down.

nushooter....I was just curious as to what brand your 204s are. This is a pet round for me also.
