204 Ruger help ???

[ohiobob]

Does anybody have a lot of Ballistics for the 204 Ruger? I mean any AND all info on the 204, even the drop charts for specific loads would help A TON too,,I Think I will be taking the plunge here in the near future, the only thing I am debating is weather to get the 204 in an AR upper or just go ahead and get a Remington,Savage or a Ruger Bolt gun IF i dont go the AR route I AM leaning towards just getting a Bolt rifle because I dont want just an upper laying around,,Hmm maybe an Encore might work too but then again I dont want HALF a gun laying around the house,,SO ANY INFO and thoughts would be appreciated,
I figure Hamer will jump in as he is the ONLY person I know that has a 204 and I THINK he is a moderator at a 204 website too  :shrug

Thanks,that site is pretty much "THE" site to go to for Info  so Glen would the 204 be your TOP choice for a DEDICATED Groundhog and Coyote Rifle out to sayyyyyyyy 400 yards ??? oh damn i FORGOT to add a Crow Rifle too ???
Thank you
Bob

Crows & groundhogs yes. On coyotes,,, as much as I like this round I think the 22-250 with a 55gr bullet would serve you better after 300yds. Only because we don't get that many shots at them around here & I would hate to see you hit one at that distance & not recover it. I would also suggest the 39gr Sierras or the 35 & 40gr Bergers up around 3850 or so. HTH

Well Hell,my bubble just burst  maybe I get an 8 mm mag,,GOD is that a BIG ASS Round !!!
Hmmmm I WONDER  what the LIGHTEST bullet for the 8 mm weighs ? can ya neck the 8 mm mag down to a
.17 Caliber ?  ahhhh it might be to SLOW ?
Thanks hamer,,I got the 22-250 covered BUT I need a new gun and thats why I was thinking of the 204 Ruger
I will have to make up my mind soon because the Wife's Birthday is on the 10th and I need to buy HER a new gun  ahh she will PROBABLY like the 204 I buy HER for HER Birthday

She'll like it Bob. 

The recoil on the 204 is nice. 

Didn't mean to burst your bubble tho. I just call em the way I see em.

[ohiobob]

well she WANTS a pistol to Carry to work,,but HELL I already have all the pistols I want,,BUT I want er uh err I mean SHE NEEDS a new Rifle,,I have a feeling that SHE NEEDS a NEW Encore  and maybe SHE needs it in 25-06 to shoot the SMALLEST and FASTEST Bullet anyone makes  shit I cant even make up my mind on what Caliber I want
I MEAN she wants anymore,,all I know is the OLDER i am getting the more "CARNAGE" I want to see,,maybe I will stick to the 22-250 and shoot 45 Grain bullets? anyone have ANY GUT EXPLODING Loads for a 45 Grain bullet out of a
22-250 ???
I Know there was a company or a guy that made an AR-15 upper in 22-250 BUT I CANT remember who it was 
anybody know who I am talking about ???
I STILL might get a 204 i mean HER a 204
