Hey guys, wanna thank ya all for helping me figure out my 6mm/hunting rifle dilemma. Overwhelming input from all of those here brought a fresh perspective. I'm honored to be able to draw on this forum's vast experience. Thanks!
Now that I have my new big game rifle sorted out, I wanted to once again draw some opinions from you guys. Right now, I currently own a .17 Rem M700, a .17HMR Savage, and a multitude of .22LR's to use on small game on prairie dogs. I could even throw my 6mm Rem M7 in there for varmints if I wanted to throw a little bit bigger slug. I do plan on adding a .22-250 in the near future as well, mainly for coyotes but also for PD's if its windy that day (it's NEVER windy in Wyoming, right).
My question is this - given the calibers I own/plan to own, would it make any sense to throw a .204 Ruger on there as well. My buddy has one and sings its praises loudly, but now I am thinking it would be redundant. It seems the .17 has the light end taken care of and the .22-250 has the heavier end.
I guess the one good thing is that all I lack to be able to reload for it on my XL650 is the powder funnel and a set of dies. Still, I can't help but think I'd be adding a caliber that doesn't bring anything to the table beyond what I already have.
Thanks in advance!
