Prairie Dog Rifle Question…

[Shrapnel]

I've only been on one P Dog shoot. That was over 2 years ago in S.E. Colorado. I used my CZ 457 .17 HMR Varmint exclusive. Out to 200 yards with no problems. My Brother in law kept telling me to shoot his 22/250. "I said why?" At that time, about $1.75 per round VS. my 17 HMR about .30 CPR or less. I also have, but did not use very much the CZ 457 MTR .22 which is still a nail driver. I just did buy a used Savage .223 bull barrel. Still figuring out which load it likes. I've only had one day out in the wind so I never got a good feeling for it; My research says, a 1999 year built with a 1:9 Twist with a 24 or 25 inch barrel. As those were not enough, I also have the Savage Mk II which I have shot around here locally at 100 yard popping off bottle caps at 100 Yards. And, I just won another Savage Mark II on the Gun Broker with a plain stock. I hope it is a nail driver too. Should be here on March 5th or 6th.

Don't let those fast twist guys get you all hyped up with a 223. Velocity trumps fast twist all day to around 400 yards. Heavy bullets at 2700 fps won't do what a 40 grain bullet will at 3600 fps…
