The .204 is a fine yote rifle. The key is what ammo you are using. I have tried lot's of ammo and the best thing to anchor a yote with is a 35 grain berger HP and/or a 40 Grain Nosler BT. I have lost several animals with the 40 grain Hornady v-max and the 32 grain in both sierra and hornady. The 39 grain BlitzKing (sierra) is an awesome PD round with good mist. But it is to lightly jacketed for yotes. I have not tried the Hornady 45 grain soft point but it is supposed to be Hornadys answer for the failure of the V-max to penetrate. All in all a great round and I have taken alot of game with it. Choose your bullets carefully and you will have no trouble.
