For a factory load are they worth a little ove a buck a round.

Never shot any but imagine they are accurate. However I wouldn't pay that much-being a reloader it is hard to accept prices like that. And coyotes are pretty big varmints even at 250-300 yds... IF you are lucky enough to see one that far. PH

I hear yea. I'm just curious to see what the new gun can do. Here's the plan. New scope mount installed tonight. Get it close @ say 50 using some GA Arms reloads. Then zero somewhere between 100-150(haven't decided) with umc ammo. 200+ I'll shoot this Hornady stuff. The literature that came with my scope says for the 55gn .223-if I zero at 200yds that each mil dot below the cross hairs is 100 increments up to 500yds. So IF I can hold a good group at 200 we'll see how far we can get.

when I first got the 204,,before you could get brass,,I bought 5 boxes of Hornady 40 gr VMax factory ammo for the brass,,it was 17 per 20 then,,it shot real close to .5 MOA average 5 shots,,I bettered that with handloads but I busted a couple primers and never got the speed of the factory Hornady VMax ammo,,

I wont pay that,,but if I didnt load it is the ammo I would buy

Would you varmit hunt with it too! Or would u use like a hollow or soft point.
