[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2239283, member: 101791"] Back in the day we use to shot ground squirrels. Nothing was fair under 200yds. Generally liked 300 to 400yds with 220 swifts. 55gr @ 3900fps with 20 power scopes. 22's or 17 out to 150 yds would seem to be fair. 1. it's sharpens the eye's and you learn to make your shots count. 2. trigger control, and hold. That over the years probable help me to do better at making mostly one shot kills with larger animals. Pdogs are fairly large, and more like 300 to 600 yards would seem fair to me. I would look at 243AI, 6mmAI, 25/06 and other caliber in that range. That one of the reasons I am having a 6mm/280AI being built. I am looking at 500 to 700 yds shots. People are probable thinking what's wrong with me. It's a test of skills to me, and make me a better shot. [/QUOTE]
