204 vs 223

Both have their nitches. .223 has more bullet weights from standard twists. .204 has more speed in its own bullet weights although the choice of bullets are more limited.
 
I shoot mostly groundhogs, groundsquirrels, and a few coyotes and prefer the .204. I don't think either one is better, I just prefer the flatter shooting of the .204 and I am used to it. It also has a little less recoil and noise than the .223. The .223 is definitely more versatile and makes more sense in a lot of ways.
 
I have both.. I mainly use the AR-223 for coyote hunting. But, I always peg the fun meter when blastin P-dawgs with it. I do shoot up a lot more ammo with the AR though.. I also have a 222 Rem. It just depends on my mood which I carry..
