Depends on the gun. Some are capable of consistent kills at 700 yds, others less. But the gun is almost always more capable than the shooter.

I am new to your site, but need some help. I purchased a used .204 in a remington light varmint a few months back. Seems to do REAL well with remy factory 40gr. V-max. Tried 32gr. V-max and it "slings" them all over the paper. So I loaded some 40gr. V-max with Benchrest this past weekend ...

It looked like this bullet is pretty much dead past 400 yards with only 200ft-lbs energy left. Will that even penetrate a prairie dog's skin? What range can I expect explosive acrobatics out to? I would say out 700 and maybe a bit beyond. Not sure about your program though. Even Hornady 32 gr facto...

They are out of stock right now but these guys are far and away the cheapest source for 204 ammo - http://www.plumrunsportinggoods.com/204 ... -83204.htm
