[QUOTE="Stumpm2, post: 644530, member: 5184"] R For prairie dog hunting there are a lot of resons to shoot a light bullet. Velocity is the name of the game when you want to vaporize the dogs. A varmint bullet going 3800 to 4000 fps seconds turns the dogs into a red mist. The recoil is light enough to allow spotting your own shots and you have about 100 yards to 400 yards of place it on them and shoot without adjusting elevation. Also, you can go through 100 rounds in very little time when the babies come out. The small rounds produce little barrel heat and let you shoot longer. Reduced muzzle blast keeps the prairie dogs up longer and at closer ranges. The majority of shots are less than 500 yards with most between 200 and 300 so the need for high bc bullet is not there. I do use my 243 Ackley and even my 7mm Dakota for dogs way out there, but that is not nearly the same amount of shooting. I also use a 17 pee wee for dogs under 200 yards. [/QUOTE]
