From hogdgon website. 204 Ruger with 40gr top velocity is 3750. 223 Remington with 40gr is 3650. With a 10mph crosswind.

At 500 yards the 204 drops 14” less and 15” less wind drift.

Sectional Density ?????? 75 points higher B.C. ??????--- SAWMAN

Wondering which .224" 40gr they were using.
Seems like a B.C. of 200 would be low,especially in a boat tail. Wonder what the B.C. of the 40gr NosBalTip is,especially at 3650. --- SAWMAN

I did 40gr vmax for both 223 and 204.
