[QUOTE="F224, post: 1863840, member: 50161"] Get a 17HMR or 17WSM. They are pretty effective on prairie dogs out to 250 yards and are great for walking around the dog town rifles. My group tends to shoot off the bench till about 9am, then go on a walkabout for 90 minutes or so with 300-400 rounds in our pockets. We come back empty just shooting standing off of sticks. We repeat the same thing in the middle afternoon. You can get the 17HMR in both bolt and autos, the 17WSM is limited to fixed breach offerings right now. If you live in coyote country, the 20gr XTP will kill them out to 120-130 yards just fine in the 17HMR. I shot a snapping turtle with that bullet and it punched right through him leaving a quarter sized exit hole on an eighty yard broadside shot. [/QUOTE]
