    I find 204 is like a laser for accuracy, reasonable range and fricken awesome at gutting, turning inside out/skinning rabbits. I'd worry that the more lighter Vmaxs may not penetrate enough for bigger animals.

    Was out shootin wallabies bout a month back, daughter shot one at 200 yards with 32grain vmax dropped it on the spot, as said above shoot like a laser but expensive to run compared to 223.

    .223 all the way.
    204 is an awesome little beast but........ less choice in rifles chambered for it, .223 you can go from single shot to AR mil rifles and everything in between
    more expensive ammo and less variety in .204
    heavier projectile weights available for medium sized game, goats and deer in .223
    recoil similar so kids and wife can shoot with ease, suppressor a must.

    The .223 is cheap to run and being a NATO round and shot around the world it is a very sorted accurate and effective calibre, I highly recommend it.
