[QUOTE="loaders_loft, post: 352808, member: 10540"] don't rule out the 243win. With a 243 I can shoot 55gr ballistic tips just over 4000fps in a 23" barrel and it shoots amazingly flat, accurate and hits "right now" with authority on dogs. If you bump up the twist, you could shoot the 105 amax which should perform good way out there. The problem with a 243 in a dog town is HEAT. After 5-10 shots on my sporter barrel (tikka), that barrel is HOT! If you do that very much, that barrel will be toast. Its understandable, shooting 51grains of H414 per shot!gun)gun) I can shoot my 22-250 VLS alot more than that before it gets that hot. In my opinion, the 22-250 is the ultimate prairie dog / squirrel gun. Am I going to shoot 600 yards with it? No, but I'm more likely to sit in one spot, clear everything within 300 yards, then walk up the prairie a bit further and do it all over again. The walk gives my rifle a chance to cool off. By the way, blued barrels have a way of "starting hot" in the summer. Go with a matte finish stainless barrel to minimize the heat starting out. I think the ultimate would be a white coated heavy barrel. Or some kind of liquid cooling system!lightbulb I'm sure you can find it on the web...:D What I need is a gun caddy then I could tow a couple extra guns and ammo...
