[QUOTE="ducky, post: 2711453, member: 94420"] Work, a buddy passing, and the plague have kept me from shooting prairie dogs in my old stomping grounds. Dogs are back and one of my other friends wants to get into varmint shooting with me. I used to use 22 rimfire, .223, and .243 for most of my dogging. Looked at componenets the other day for my old PD load and I can buy 1K of .223 loaded with 55 grain SBK for about $150 more than I can reload it. I'm a SSP reloader and have never invested in a progressive, so that's a lot of time pulling a handle for $150. I'm really tempted to order a case of 200 and see if they shoot in my rifles. I'll probably save my 6 Creedmoor and .243 for bigger varmints, or really long range PDs. I like to reload but my job makes it difficult to dedicate time like I used to, and it isn't the savings it used to be. I also like to pull the trigger more than a press handle! [/QUOTE]
