My boys and I went shooting the other day. We found out that a 204 shooting 39 gr. BlitzKings will penetrate a propane tank at 100 yds. We played with a shotgun, 260 rem, Ar-15 in 223 and my 204 ruger. The 260 shooting 130 tsx's was first. Tracers or an open flame would have made this outing a real BLAST.... My kid took a short vid of the first shot. Click it.........


The rest weren't as fun, but did show that 4 of 5 bk's exitted.The 204 entrance holes...


204 exits are lower left. The rest are 223 exits. the bumps are 223 fmj's that did not make it thru....


I have heard of guys complaing of bullet 'splash'. But after killing over 30 coyotes with a 204, I have never seen it. In fact I have only had a few exit wounds. This outing kinda confirms my thoughts on that, even if none of the hits were 'glancing'....... Don

Thanks for posting the pics and your results. My friend and I have noticed too that the 39 Sierra and 40 V-Max are good on coyotes from 50-300 yds. The 45 gr. Hornady Spire point offers even more penetration. We have also noticed the 32's breaking up too much at 100 yds.

Thanks for posting! Just last week Pops said "The .17 wouldn't hurt that tank." And I said " My .204 would hurt that tank." lmao Now I have to show him these pics.
