^I think this is good, but if this is a "Price is right" thing with the closest being the winter, I'd say about 390 yards. I will add, I owned a 204R for a year and plan on getting another one day. I remember setting up an old shovel head (jammed it into the ground) @ about 100 yards, and let the granddaughter of one of the farmers I know take a few cracks at it under my supervision. It was a fairly heavy shovel head, but maybe 16ga/1/16" thick. After about 5 shots, she told me she wasn't sure she was hitting it because it didn't move. Considering I didn't jam it into the hard/dry ground very far...I thought she might be right. Upon inspection, there were 5 perfectly round holes in the steel, with almost no material deformation. They looked like they were drilled there, honestly. Bullets were 39gr. SBKs, which also blew right through a groundhog one day end-to-end. Entrance wound front left shoulder, exit rear right hip. That varmint was over 10lbs.
Lots of juice in those little bullets.
