[QUOTE="Browninglover1, post: 580272, member: 29966"] I think the 223 is the ideal pdog rifle for the average person. The cost of ammo is the reason I think it's the best. You can buy super accurate black hills ammo for relatively cheap and shoot it till your barrel is so hot you can't touch it. The 223 will also create plenty of red mist out to 400 yards and hits beyond that are still very possible, the results just aren't as dramatic. I've shot pdogs with a 17 HMR, 22 mag, 223, 22-250, 243, 6mm, and a 300 WSM. I think you'll want a 22 lr, 17 hmr, or 22 mag to carry with you in the truck so you can shoot the little bounders up close and save a little money. If I had a dedicated pdog rig for high volume shooting it would be a 223. If the pdogs are few and far between then I'd take whatever rifle I have and get some good practice with it. [/QUOTE]
