[QUOTE="woodnut, post: 1950522, member: 17593"] rewiltshire, I agree you should never bring FMJ bullets to shoot PDs . However, I have, myself, heard the "zing" of a ricochet several times when even the hpt and tipped bullets hit at a low angle and miss the PD. Always be sure of what's beyond the target. As for what to take; last year I used one rifle for two days of the 4 days we were there. It was a 17 WSM ! I hit them hard at 300+. Not every time, but a hit was a kill. This next year I will take it, a 6 Creedmoor (that I whacked one at a tad over 700 last year), a .22 rimfire, and a 20 PPC. At least those. I have 4 (getting the 5th built!) rifles in 6 Creedmoor. To say I love that round is a big understatement! Accurate, very easy to reload and factory Black both are stupidly accurate. Did I say both factory and reloads are accurate? I think I did.;) Low recoil, 3000fps with 105s or 108s. Flat trajectories. Blow up -red mist PDs. [/QUOTE]
