The 204 Ruger is my round of choice for chucks and PA predators including fox and coyote. I won't make this post a rant about ballistics but comparing these 2 calibers without considering actual projectiles and ballistic coefficients is fruitless. There is countless information on the web highlighting the advantages of the 204.
Amen. Just about every old wives' tale/myth about the .204 has been repeated on this thread already. Will agree that in this case the gentleman has probably made the correct final decision (assuming the Ruger shoots decently.)
