[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 265985, member: 307"] I have never owned a .17 cal rifle (Daisy) but I have taken a few crows with a .223 and it does a fine job. I have used the .22-250 with 52gn SMK the most. I've also used a .25-06 (75gnHP) and 7mmRM (150gn NBT) and yes they do explode with the latter. I love that effect. I've been using a heavy barreled .243 with 65gn V-Max's for the past 6 months and the crows here are not happy. I've taken about 25 since I got here in Sept. which isn't alot, but it's more than I'm used to. In my experience, hunting pressure usually keeps them pretty wired. In N.C. if they even hear your truck slow down they take off! I moved up to Va. and there are tons of crows up here. I've seen "murders" with over a 100 birds. I took two with one shot at 248yds about two weeks ago. What a hoot! They went ballistic. They have learned my white Chevy work truck, so this weekend I slipped over to the barn/cow pasture in the Jeep. BootYow...dead crow flopping...BootYow...another one bites the dust! The rest took off. I love smacking those little, black "beasturds". JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
