Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Predators and Varmints 204 ruger vs. 223 for coyotes

If you reread the post that statement was made with tounge firmly in cheek...

I wasn't able to get the 2012 or 2011 Rem ballistics pdf to download but i was successful with the 2010.

With the bullet weights cited the 400 yd difference is 2.5"......at 500 yds it's 9.4".

On a prairie dog size target at 400 yds a difference of 2.5" might make a difference.
On a coyote size target at 400 yds a difference of 2.5" is not as significant.

Not unless Remington developed a magical 20 caliber bullet between 2010 to 2012.

Not just nuts, also full of sh#t as usual. The OP is in Montana and said he'd be shooting to about 350yds. Here at 6500' elevation...... @3600fps velocity (that's less than my rifle) a .223 with 200yd zero the drop is 8.8" at 350yds.....the .2043750 is 1.3" less. At 400 the difference is 2".
