Frequently Asked Questions
Ruger 204 for sale
Is a 204 Ruger a good coyote gun?
Yes, .204 Ruger works well for coyotes. The 40-grain V-Max load penetrates better than the lighter 32-grain, which can splash on impact. Broadside shots improve results. Several manufacturers chamber rifles for this cartridge, and factory ammunition is widely available.
Is the 204 Ruger any good?
Yes, .204 Ruger excels at varmint and predator hunting. It delivers a flat trajectory, minimal recoil, and excellent accuracy to 300 yards. Multiple manufacturers chamber rifles for it. However, ammunition is harder to find and more expensive than .223 Rem, so handloading helps manage costs.
Is 204 Ruger a barrel burner?
Yes, .204 Ruger is considered a barrel burner. Its 4,000+ fps velocity erodes throats relatively quickly, with accurate barrel life typically around 3,000–4,000 rounds. Hunters shooting moderate volumes see longer service life than those doing heavy range work.
How much does a 204 drop at 200 yards?
With a 100-yard zero, a .204 Ruger typically drops around 1.5 to 2.5 inches at 200 yards. Exact drop varies by bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and zero distance. A 32-grain bullet at 4,000 fps drops less than a heavier, slower load.
How accurate is 204 Ruger ammo?
.204 Ruger is among the most accurate factory varmint cartridges available, routinely producing half-MOA to three-quarter-MOA groups from quality rifles. The 32-grain load at roughly 4,225 fps shoots exceptionally flat. Barrel quality and shooter technique matter, but the cartridge itself is inherently precise.
What is the best ammo for a 204 Ruger?
Best choice depends on your rifle's preferences, as individual guns vary. Hornady Superformance Varmint (32 or 40 grain) is popular factory ammo. The 40 grain holds wind better; 32 grain shoots flatter. Federal Premium Varmint and Nosler Varmageddon also perform well. Try multiple brands to find what your rifle shoots best.
What is the best 204 Ruger rifle?
"Best" depends on your needs. The Ruger M77 Hawkeye and Savage 12 Varmint are popular factory choices with good triggers and accuracy. CZ 527 and Tikka T3 also perform well. Most .204 Ruger rifles run $500–$1,300. Choose based on barrel length, stock fit, and intended use.
Is a 204 more powerful than a 223?
The .204 Ruger shoots faster with less wind drift, but the .223 Remington delivers more kinetic energy downrange due to its heavier bullets. So .204 is more powerful in velocity terms; .223 hits harder. Your best choice depends on the intended use.
