[QUOTE="f graham, post: 440, member: 142"] I'm working with my .22 rimfire and I could use some opinions. I have been applying the long range principles and have come up with very impressive results. I would like to apply this to hunting groundhogs. My experience has been that unless a hog is hit real hard they will run for thier hole.The couple of times I have hit them with a .22 they don't stop head shot or not. When I can catch them a little way from their hole they will run for the hole then collapse before they make it. If they are near the hole when hit they will make it down the hole. I know deer will behave the same way sometimes running away though they really are already dead. So if a g-hog recieves a fatal chest shot from a long way away, say 200 yards, from a relatively quiet gun, will he just lay down and die. Like the deer that gets hit at 1300 yards. Or is a groundhog running for that hole with his dying breath no matter what. I am very confident of my ability to make a good hit,expansion would of course be minimal,penetration should be complete. Thanks,frank g [/QUOTE]
