Suggestions for .204 re-barrel
Curently have a tikka t3 varmint in 204. MAE full barrel suppressor but the barrel has been shortened to maybe 19".... Not happy with the velocities im getting with 40grainers due to the short barrel. Suggestions for a future calibre? Preferably uses same bolt face but not to worried. This is purely a varmint gun and will not be used on deer sized game. (unless one pops out 10m away like the one in the photo haha). Open to wildcat ideas and will be loading ammo myself.

I had 2 different 204's then built a 20 Tactical. Better velocity than the 204, with less powder. Lapua brass as well. Mine has a 24" barrel & I'm getting over 3,900fps with 40gr vmax.
Other option I would consider is opening the boltface and going to a 6-6.5*47L and shoot 87gr vmax & 105gr amax loads. I have had a 243ai and 6.5*47L for LR varminting, Tussock is right, the heavier pills certainly make 300m+ varminting much less hit & miss.
