[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1209102, member: 87243"] Prairie dog shooting is not about being practical lol its about stretching your ability and having fun, imo. I have an ar-15 in 5.56 I'm using for out to 300 or so most the time, it's a 16" heavy barreled DPMS and it does the trick nicely. I have been shooting p dogs lately with my .260 AI, 140 berger hybrid target going 2960, and I regularly make hits 700 yards and farther. But, I don't want to use the barrel up on this gun on varmints. Shooting these things is the best practice you can have for long range big game, targets change distance, they are more challenging to hit, and make you an overall better shooter because if you miss your wind call, you miss your target. You learn alot about long range when your targets are living and the size of a liter of coke ha ha. I am thinking .243 or possibly 6X47 lapua after some looking...I think either would do the trick, and could be used by my nieces and nephews as a low recoil long range antelope gun as well...
