.20 VarTarg or .221 Fireball?

Where is a guy to find .204 cal Berger bullets, these days?

222 is .224 caliber.

I too have noted that 204 bullets are harder to find.

I appreciate all of the thoughts and responses on this topic so far. It seems like my assessments of the pros and cons of .20 VarTarg and .221 Fireball were pretty accurate. I will add .222 Remington back to the list of options, which is somewhat ironic as that is what I was actually leaning towards before I started reading about the smaller cartridges.

Which route I decide to go might ultimately depend on what comes up as I look at rifles. I would definitely be open to a turnkey rifle in one of these calibers if I come across one. I would not rule out a used target rifle, and I checked out the ones at The Shooter’s Corner, but they seem to be of a vintage that is a little older than I would prefer.

It seems like now is the time to get serious about a suppressor, and I will have to do some more research on what might best suit my needs. I see a post about this topic in my future.

Thanks again and please keep the thoughts coming.
