204 Ruger Ammo For Sale
History of 204 Ruger Ammo
The .204 Ruger was introduced in 2003 as the speediest production .20 caliber cartridge. Long-range varmint hunters love it, thanks to the mild recoil, flat trajectory, and high velocity.
Ruger, Mossberg, Remington, and Savage continue to make rifles chambered for the .204 Ruger cartridge. Rifles with a bolt action and single-shot rifles are very common. Federal, Hornady, Remington, and Winchester manufacture .204 Ruger ammunition, which can be readily found.
How Does 204 Compare to Other Calibers?
Caliber | Recoil | Pros | Cons |
---|---|---|---|
22-250 | The 22-250 has manageable recoil, but it is slightly higher than smaller calibers like the .223. | The 22-250 offers very high velocity and a flat trajectory, making it excellent for varmint hunting and precision shooting. | One downside of the 22-250 is that it is not ideal for larger game. Additionally, heavy use can wear out barrels faster. |
223 Remington | The 223 Remington has very manageable recoil, making it great for faster follow-up shots and overall ease of shooting. | The 223 Remington is widely available and highly versatile, suitable for hunting small game, self-defense, and target shooting. | However, the 223 Remington has limited effectiveness at longer ranges compared to larger calibers, making it less ideal for long-distance shots. |
