he .204 Ruger burst onto the varminting scene with all the subtlety of a Coney Island Fireworks display. Varminters had been yearning for ever flatter trajectories with less recoil for decades, and the .204 immediately quenched the thirst of even the most dedicated varminter.
With either a 32 grain V-MAXTM started at over 4,100 fps or a 40 grain V-MAXru running at 3,800, the .204 shoots remarkably flat and retains enough energy to dispatch most varmints with aplomb. When the new 45 grain SP is added to the mix, at arnlrzzle velocity of over 3,600 fps, shooters get a great option for tougher, harder to kill varmints like coyotes.

The .204 does very well with medium burn rate propellants, such as RL-15, Benchmark, H 4895, IMR 4064, VihtN-140 and W 748. With judicious component selection, reloaders wili be rewarded with long case life, great accuracy and minimal recoil.
