Fur friendly and accurate .204 ammo?

Any ideas?? I just picked up an Encore Prohunter barrel and need to find some accurate ammo that will not blow huge holes in fox and coyote??

I had the standard 26" .204 barrel last year and it did not like the 40grn Hornady stuff, but the 32grn worked great!

Thanks!

Mark

We switched to the berger 40gain match hollow point. Tiny in, so far no splash wounds but they do make it in deeper. None excited so far either. Used them for two years now. Bang flops!

I think Cabelas has some for sale under the Bulk loaded in cans.

Federal Premium with a 39BlitzKing is about the most accurate factory load I've found. I'm handloading the BK's now, and the 35grain Bergers are a fave of alot of guys here. http://www.204ruger.com/
