[QUOTE="Goofycat, post: 588146, member: 6504"] A tip of the cap to the previous shooters. Mine is far less exciting. While hunting ground squirrels with my Remington 40XBBR bench-rest .222, I encountered one of the little varmints exiting his hole at 270 yards away. It was dusk, with no wind. The first shot went over his head by 6 inches, after which I nailed him with a second shot, using Kentucky windage. Surprisingly, another squirrel came out of the same hole and started to cannibalize his dead partner. I nailed him too with another Nosler 50-grain Ballistic Tip. Doesn't sound like much of a shot, but to put things into perspective, ground squirrels are about half the size of a prairie dog. [/QUOTE]
