In perfect calm maybe. Add a little wind.

I used to have a 7mm mag Browning BLR. I loved the gun, but it just wasn't much fun to shoot. I think my next gun will be another Browning BLR but in a 22-250 or 223.

How do you figure? T.O.F.? the .204 is faster with a heavier bullet... how does the .17 Rem "smoke it"? the fastest load I show for the .17 is with a 24.5 Gr. bullet @ 4123 FPS. The .204 shows a 32 grain, V-MAXTM bullet with a velocity of 4,225 feet per second. Both are at the muzzle.
Hell, my .243 almost smokes the .17 with a 55 Gr bullet an average Chrono @ 4055 FPS

When compared directly with either the 22-250 Remington or the 220 Swift, the 204 RUGER offers higher muzzle velocity and flatter trajectory. Because the 204 cartridge achieves a higher velocity with less propellant than either the 22-250 Remington or the 220 Swift, this new cartridge does not compromise barrel life.

Now that's a bad a$$ caliber For elk.. That thing rips, How much are bullets? (If you don't roload) Are they hard to find? Looks killer.

.......you can load the .17 to go way faster than that.......

did anyone actually ever go out after coyotes? I have had a really good year called close to 30 so far this year.

Even bought a new AR so I can rapid fire em....

As for the caliber choice, it is hard to beat a 22-250, the Tac-20 is a good choice, but I love my 24" .223 AR.
