204 CAL

[Lewdan 17]

OK Guys, my ticket is up for renewal june this year, been thinking about adding a new calibre at same time, i have recently posted threads here for information about getting started in deer shooting / stalking and i know for this i would need at least a 243 cal, but cant make up my mind if i really want to get into stalking ect Anyway at the moment i use .22rim for rabbits and .22K hornet for fox (out to 200yds max )thinking about a calibre that gives me a little more in energy and range, this is when .204 came to mind i know its been asked before but any info please on availability and veriety of heads, powders, new brass, what is this cal like to reload, accuracy, effective killing range for fox,would appreciate feedback from anyone who use this cal for hunting any web sites i can visit for information--Thanks in advance.

Thank you all for your very interesting comments, much appreciated. this calibre seems all the rage in the states, but is still pretty new here in uk as far as users go.. (but there again were always a few years behind them) the more i hear about it the more tempted i am !!! Some of you guys have some interesting projects going please let me know how you are getting on..

 

Keep in touch.
