Are they all they are talked up to be?
By all the talk on the forums(US),they reckon it MAY topple the great 22-250 as king of the Varminters(Standard cal's) mmmmmmmm.
The 204 probably isn't everything to everybody, but it is an incredibly capable little round. Certainly more so than you might expect. Mandy has now shot close to 900 rounds through hers, and it really doesn't give anything away when shooting alongside the 22/250. It is more pleasant to shoot, as it has way less recoil, and self spotting is the rule rather than the exception.
Right now we're awaiting delivery of a PacNor 204 barrel, so that she can have another 20 cal made up. This will have slightly faster twist than her current LVSF, and will be optimised for use with the 40 gr Vmax.
My LVSF is currently off being converted to a 222 Rem Mag as it sucked as a Fireball (the combination of the rifle and round didn't work...I still like the Fireball). There is every likelyhood that the rifle will end up as a 20 in a year or two.
