I love mine I have been able to get every bullet I try to shoot 3 under an inch, and the good loads are .5" and a little better.  I really like my 204 handi for a coyote calling gun with the right bullet very fur friendly and good trajectory. It does OK for gophers (hits out to 250), but I did not have enough brass to make lots of rounds so it did not get a real good trial.  But I think I want a big pig of a bolt gun (in 204) eventually somthing capable of .2's for 5 shots to really see  how far a 204 can shoot

The componet issue has improved greatly in the last year, right before Christmas I got a call the brass I had on back order at a local shop since April of last year finally came in. So there is at least some brass north of the border now, you don't want to know what I paid for some of my ebay brass :( .  The bullets have been reasonably easy to get Heck I even found a Canadian Berger supplier and with any luck the new Nosler bullets will show up before the summer is over.
