Laker: The 204 Ruger shoots much flatter and much straighter in the wind than does the 223 Remington (at the ranges you inquired regarding!).
I would refer you to page 131 of the Remington 2,102 catalog where you can compare the 204 Ruger sighted in at 200 yards with 40 grain bullets and then compare the 400 yard drop to the 223 sighted in at 200 yards with the 50 grain bullet - the 204 Ruger shoots 10.2" FLATTER out there at 400 yards than that 223 offering!
10.2" flatter at 400yds....are you nuts?
