I am considering buying a CZ 527 Varmint in .204 Ruger for Coyotes, pigs and deer. This is in Florida and the deer average around 100 lbs for does with the bucks being a little larger with an occasional 185 lb buck. Has anyone used the .204 Hammers on any of these critters or Pronghorns? If so what bullet and what twist in your rifle? The rifle has a 1:12 twist so I will be using the 39gr hammer hunter. I know some will say it is too small for deer but I think it might be perfect for surgical precision with little recoil. I am past the point where I have to shoot a deer when I go. I likes to pick my shots and will let a deer pass if I don’t feel comfortable with the shot plus’s it will be backed up by eaither a Freedom Arms .455 Casull or a Linebaugh built Ruger in .500 Linebaugh.
