case sizes and amount of powder to push a 30 at 3800

[skb2706]

your comparision is a 'hodge podge' of miss information and always handy "apples to oranges". But so be it....you are comparing a case designed to hold about 29 gr. of powder to one that will hold 40 gr. of powder with ease. Not to mention the obvious diameter difference of .020". Regardless of all that my .204 consistently shoots 32 gr. bullets at 4100 fps plus and 40 gr. bullets at 3800...this is chronographed not transcribed. My 22-250 will be smokin hot after ten shot strings on the hot prairie shootin dogs....my .204 will reach just as far and slatter them nearly as well....all the while keeping cooler longer, costing me less to shoot and most often more accurately. I think it is nearly the perfect prairie dog caliber currently available.
