PDs and Marmots were my only targets. On Predators, I always liked the bigger rounds, I don't save pelts, so "massive destruction" is kinda my thing for them, ha.


My foray into the 204 was a carbine 204 Contender barrel. Very accurate and it was pretty destructive. I used the 32 grain VMax pushed hard on a bunch of raccoons. Messy. Coyotes not all the time but at medium range they dropped quick!
