Kirk,
I hate to dispute your .204-slandering rabbit claim, because I can't prove it's false with mere on-line research. But have lit up a few 8-12 pounds varmints with the .204 and, gee, they flew!
One of my .204's set a state record in Wyoming for how high a prairie dog flies, but it's not valid in Montana because the air is thinner in Wyoming. No picture, no proof. Who is going to yield first? I don't see any 204 invading my safe in the near future...

The 270 recoils less than the 280.... I think you need to dissect the available data of both shooting the same weight bullet at the same velocity before you can make a bold, blanket statement like that. Look carefully at all sources of data( that you personally like, and which back your contention)break them down to their respective minutae, obsess over the 'facts' you have found. Then and only then are you prepared to go on line and dispute the findings of known experts in the most petulant way possible. Exactamundo! Can't remember where I saw this posted - "The ultimate concern of a rifle loony is rifle trivia. And why not? What else is as distracting from the really important concerns of everyday life?"
drover Yeah, we sure can't be giving JB credit for coming up with such a profound truth... DF

Yep. One of these days Kirk will admit to his "magnum flinch" and use more seemly cartridges for a man his age.

I wish he would hurry up.....he'd shoot the "dog in the glass" way too often with his magnumized, custom wood sporters way too often for me......

Another 204 lacking picture. There ain't a 204 in the world that will do this to a rabbit... ![[Linked Image]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee202/bridgershooters/Varmints/scan0007.jpg) Saw a pig do that once. It was maybe over 40 years back and it still makes me chuckle. A .204 won't make pigs fly.
I am..........disturbed.

if you think that the 270 is gay and you have to shoot a 204 because the 220 having too much recoil you can not legally shoot any where in PA
You can't hit the target if you don't take the shot.

I can't get flying critters to hold still so I can take their picture. But I don't have a .204 either. I am starting to feel inadequate.

The .222 Mag creates a tear in the space-time continuum that allows one to take some dramatic still-death photography. I thought everyone knew that.
