[QUOTE="tuck2, post: 834986, member: 23575"] FAL SHOT: I started shooting prairie dogs in 1949 with a 22 RF rifle. I too have found that prairie dogs become muzzle blast smart. When shooting a 243 Win rifle I have seen them head to their holes 400 some yards away. Over the years I have looked for better prairie dog shooting cartridges. So far I have shot them with a 17 HM2, 17 HMR, 17 Fireball, 17 Rem, 204 Ruger, 22 LR RF, 22WMR, 22 Hornet, 221 Fireball, 222 Rem, 223 Rem, 22-250 Rem, 220 Swift, 243 Win, and some big game rifles. I have a CZ 17 Hornet on order and will also get a 17 WSM RF if one is made in a rifle I like. In any year the most p dogs I shoot is with the little rimfire rifles and am very fond of the 17 HM2, and 17 HMR rifles. During the fall and winter I take out the 22 and 243 rifles to see how far out I can hit them, but the most kills each year is with the rim fire rifles. Now ,Plague, and poison, in the area I live has greatly reduced my shooting . [/QUOTE]
