[QUOTE="Ksmirk, post: 450968, member: 6555"] Don't get me wrong I have a soft spot for the 22-250 and 243 but not in a hot p-dog town, if your not careful you'll smoke the tubes fast! A good friend of mine has a 204 upper on an AR and really likes it but if I'm not watching him he will shoot all my 17 Remington rounds PDQ now THAT little rifle is pure fun and evil as can be on p-dogs. I know this is not one of your considerations but the plain jane boring ol' 223 is really hard to beat for p-dogs! when they get a little shy and it slows down I just get out the 75gr A-Max loads (single shot from the AR) it'll whack em' pretty solid out there in the 600 yard range those bullets just seem to float, not super high velocity but the BC of them you don't have to spit them out all that fast to start with. When they get out there past 600 yards that's when the 243 comes out and it'll put a whacking on a p-dog out there further than you really need to be shooting them. There are a mess of good calibers for p-dogs but the thing you need to look at is what is 75% of your shooting going to be? get a caliber for the 75% not the 25% you MIGHT do. My suggestion is a plain ol boring 223 then a fast twist 22-250 for the dogs that want to just sit there and bark at ya out there in the 800+ range. Later, Kirk [/QUOTE]
