6.5 Creedmoor, Hornady 143 gr ELD-X Precision Hunter.
First day out yesterday on groundhogs saw about 18 to 20 shot at 10 dropped 9DRT,one miss when a strong wind gust threw the little 20 grain 17 off course. Every one was dropped DRT,no crawl offs,although one slid back in his burrow a foot after being hit. Closest shot was 155 ,furthest 275 see grey pickup in background and look at groundhog shot, all these were in fresh soybean fields , beans about 2 inches up.Some were beyond range and I only was packing the 17 hornet, I filled up front to back a 17P john Deere dump cart,all groundhogs were brought home and staked down by the river to shoot coyotes over, a good start to groundhogging,Mohican river and tributaries also shown big fields. addendums below in reply section. 17 hornet CZ 527 American sporter barrel,suppressed Liberty titanium, sure brings varmint shooting to a new level.The heavy barrel 17 doesn't shoot any better than sporter ,I sold my heavy barrel.

Got to see a den of foxes today which I don't see often anymore. This little guy was one of 4. I hope they make it. The coyotes are hard on them around here.
