You’ll be sitting around in the hot sun waiting for the .204 barrel to cool down without another caliber rifle. Take a .223 too, preferably with a 7.5 to 8 twist so you can shoot 65 - 80 grain bullets Also a 22-250 for the acrobatics Also a 6mm of your choice. Just to see how far you can shoot a PD

This happened to me. I loaded my 223 RRA at night while hog hunting and a 300 BO cartridge found its way in the magazine Also had a .300 BO upper. They both fit the lower charging handle bolt face magazine etc It did the same thing. Quite frightening, but I knew immediately what had happened...

IMR 8208 isn’t even close to Varget as already posted. Others also mentioned how much they like 8208 for 223 heavies. I tried IMR 8208 with Berger 80.5’s, SMK 77’s and Hornady 75 ELDM bullets in a M24 contoured 7 twist barrel with uneven results. Also, the biggest problem is 8208 gives very...

Longshot camera system I use mine out to 1000yds on my own range Saves a ton of time Allows shooting paper at a 1000 yards. I use 1” light green painters tape for watermark. Easy to measure vertical dispersion Works flawlessly It would be a difficult system to use on a public range

I have both Magnetospeed - Pros : Less expensive Measures over 3900f/s Intuitive to use Very accurate Records shots 99% of the time Cons : Hangs on the barrel changing point of impact I bought an aftermarket MS holder. It works great if your rifles are in a chassis or have a factory Picatinny...

Thanks for the helpful advice

How far away can I hit that Prairie dog

So I guess the 6CM 105gr Berger hybrid target ammunition listed above is for sale and I will ship for the cost of shipping

Ok Thank you all for the heads up

It’s Factory loaded ammunition Plus I have some brass from the that same ammunition that I had fired I didn’t know I could ship ammunition without having a certified hazmat shipper But I’ll check on that Thanks

I have 87 rounds I bought from Ables Feb 2021. Paid $2.30 / round. I found 108 ELD or 109 Berger shoots better Also about 40 1x fired brass It’s for sale for $3.00/round plus 1x brass

Good advice Also Wear rubber or plastic disposable gloves. Double gloving isn’t a bad idea Hogs carry several bad transmissible diseases Like brucellosis, tularemia, pseudo rabies ( mad itch) Learned this stuff 45 years ago in vet school. It’s not internet bs

Ok General advice Hunt at night if it’s allowed Use dogs if allowed Pigs have an extraordinary sense of smell They are much more wary than deer I hope you have success

The poster didn’t mention Zeiss, but I will. I started buying better scopes for 6 different caliber of rifles for Prarie dogs. They are all SFP as I see no reason to buy a FFP for hunting. I have a ZCO on order, but that’s for competition I have two ATACR’s, a Viper pst, and three Zeiss v6 5-30...
