204 Ruger load

[Larryjk]

Catfish, One of my coyote hunting friends has used a lot of the smaller calibers. (17s, 20s, 22s.) His rule is if you are hunting coyotes and don't want them running away while you try for No. 2, you better shoot at least a 22 that is pushing no less than a 52 grain bullet. He may be right! Coyotes are tough customers and I have a lot of respect for them.
The 22-6mm is a little faster than the 220 Swift and as hard on barrels. The case is very strong.
I have 8 or 9 barrels to install in the next couple weeks. One is a 20/22-250 AI with 8 inch twist and another is a 22/243 AI with 8 inch twist. Usually these types of barrel jobs don't last long before they are back in for a new barrel with lands.
I sent a 22-6mm back to the barrel maker so they could cut it up and evaluate it in the shop. When I called them to see what they found, they said " What the hell were you guys shooting through that barrel? There isn't any rifling left in it!" Like I said; some wildcats are tougher on barrels than others.
