TOP_PREDATORI have not shot any Seals with 204 ruger,but have shot a few feral goats with 204,comes down to shot placement,head/neck shots are best.
Heads shots on seals should work.

gophershooterI have a .204 contender killed several badgers and rock chucks with it this summer.I experimented with it killing cows and bulls which had broken legs and cancerous eyes.We head shot them at various ranges none further than 150ft and they went down like they were struck by lightening,dead befor they hit the ground and blood streamed out the tiny hole like it was under pressure.w/regards

schmausI'm sure the .204 will work awesome on seals as I have shot many seals with .22 lr's.

HARDBALLERGood round but ammo might be hard to find in the bush, no pun intended. Since you can't mail order ammo in AK, it might be months before you get your hands on some .204's. How about a .223 with 55-64 gr softs?

akplsThe .204 is easily the most accurate caliber I have, but I would agree with Hardballer that it may be hard to come by in a village store. Better stock up in Anchorage or Fairbanks when you can.
