Well, the 204 will most definitely replace my 223. Load developed, 3,720fps with 39gr Blitz and pretty much bullet on bullet at 100 yards.
Stretched her legs a couple of weeks ago. Dropped at crow at 490 yards and a Rook at 510 yards. Awesome little calibre!

Re: Corvid Control
Okay, so I'm a couple of months late. But congratulations! 500 Yards?? That's inspiring, to say the least. I need to improve! My best on ground squirrels is ~ 300.
Oh! My Savage loves that 39 BK too!

Re: Corvid Control
Great looking rifle and you most certainly have found the perfect load for that beauty. A 500 yard shot is amazing!!! Thanks for sharing the story and the photos.
