Useful but sales lagging...I've had one ever since Remington made it a factory cartridge.
Another under that category is the 204 Ruger.
Sadly, the 204R is a short lived cartridge. Not that I'm going to say that about the 25-06, because it's been around for quite a while now. I know some guys that love that 204, but it is one that falls on its face after 300 yards. I've found the 22-250 to be a much better cartridge. But I digress...
That hasn't been my experience, but I mostly use the .204 for prairie dogs. In general it's my 300-500 yard PD round--after the closer dogs have been killed or spooked by .17s. Beyond 500 I use either a 1-8 twist .223, or a 13-pound 6XC. (Oh, and while we still have a couple .22-250s, they have 1-8 twists and get used for deer and pronghorns these days.)
While the latest iteration of Remington has apparently dropped the .204 in their rifles, Ruger still chambers it.
