[QUOTE="Sully2, post: 854439, member: 31820"] Its not a "long range" cartridge by any means....but does anyone have a good idea at what distance a 222 will kill cleanly on prairie dogs, wood chucks...etc sort of animals? I just picked one up and topped it with a Zeiss 6-20 and will hand load NO LARGER than 50 grain slugs at 200 yards. That makes me good from zero to 200 and not that much low at 300...but its tap city for 400 yards...lol Im figuring a 0-200 yards easy to carry rifle. [/QUOTE]
