I too shall continue to use the .204...
I might have to throw it in the truck when heading south and see if it will kill a pig. I know CB shorts will kill them, but will a sub-22 caliber?

Yes. It does require you put the bullet in the right place.
One of these days I'll kill one with my Zimmer and a lead BB. It has panache.

I really didn't want the Poobah to get overconfident ya know? Almost everyone knows a .222 Rem can make pigs fly but if he wants to use a .204, well, who am I to be critical?

I plan on AI'ing them with either a 60 NBT or a 55TTSX,or both.
Im thinking either to the brain pan should result in " The Silence of the Hams"...

Hog zen requires either medievalesque carnage, bulk economical firepower, or stoic resolve.
If you start AI'ing them, you may as well start wearing corduroy jackets, drink tea, and smoke cigars while you shoot them.

I assume all your tweed is Mossy Oak or leopard pattern?

Love my 204.
354 yds to the bottom of the draw from my back door.
Last year the coyotes really piled up down there.
Just hold center, high on the hair, never mind the wind and their feet go in the air.
PRO: no problem watching the hits.
Con: usually no indication of wound... Guess they die from fright!
Wish you good shooting this season.

I'm really intrigued about the .204 Ruger yet i have little knowledge about it. Pro's and con's please...
A 40 grain ballistic tip in a .223 Remington case will do all that any of the smaller bullets will..... I built a .204 many years ago and was disappointed that I couldn't see any worthy difference in it from a well loaded 40 grain bullet in the .223 case

I bought mine due to the new caliber hype (like I needed a reason)
I think if I were to limit myself (that hurt) to one lighter caliber rifle besides the 22 LR I think I would pick the 243 Winchester again.
