[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2674884, member: 115658"] Big volume or colony rodents > .20P or .204R but a .20P AI or .20TAC would reduce case stretching and need for trimming & provide cheap brass. Shortages of uncommon bullets like 50 plus grain .20's can be expected. For spotting hits the .20"s are great. A .17 HMR works great at 150 & under but $15 plus for 50 rounds is not cheap. My choice for LR rodents is a 7.7 twist .22-.250 with 75 ELDM's with powder charges from 35 to 38 grains, like 4350's, RS Hunter, Staball, RL16, VN160, like 4350 burn rate powders. Ripping rodent pelts is of no concern. A .22 CM would add another 100 fps or so & allow use of both LRP & SRP. Slower burning powders could also be used in addition to 4350 burn rate powder. A .22 CM re-barrel job is next. [/QUOTE]
