Re: 204 vs 22-250

I've never shot a 22-250 further than 200 yards at the local range. However, after this past week in eastern Oregon in the windy conditions I encountered I was just tickled as heck (Although Skippy wasn't amused one bit) as how good the 204 performed. Basically to make it a challenge, I had to limit the 204 to 350 yards and beyond otherwise it was like shooting fish in a barrel.
I may toy with the 32 grains and the 26 grain bullets just for grins but right now, for all of my 204's the 39SBK is a hammer. The 35 Berger shoots good but IMO, it has nothing over the 39 SBK (although I could be wrong).
For horsepower at 500 yards and beyond I have a 6mm Remington I can use. So far it shoots the 75 VMX, 87 VMAX and 105 AMAX bullets real good.
