The days of firing 1000 rounds in a day of prairie dog hunting are over. (or at least suspended) They are a skittish bunch. Once you get to banging away, you'll find that the majority of your shot opportunities will be beyond 300yds... and that is precisely the distance that a .223 with lightweight bullets becomes fairly useless if it's anything but a picturesque day. (which we almost never get in the western dakotas) Basically, if you want to really hammer on a dog town, you better be able to hit a soda can at 600yds with 90% of the shots fired. A 26" .223 with heavies is just barely up to that task. A 204 with 55's qualifies also.</p></blockquote><p></p>
