[QUOTE="tuck2, post: 605906, member: 23575"] Most all of my shooting has been at prairie dogs. I only shoot targets off a bench rest to develope reloads and check a rifles accuracy. If you are comming out to prairie dog country have a accurate .204 Ruger rifle. I started shooting p dogs in 1949 with a 22 RF rifle. I dont know if there is a perfict p dog rifle but I keep trying to find it. Sofar I have shot them with 17 HM2, 17 HMR, 17 Fireball, 17 Rem, 204 Ruger, 22 RF, 22 WMR, 22 Hornet, 221 Fireball, 222 Rem, 223 Rem, 22-250 Rem, 220 Swift, 243 Win, and deer-elk rifles. Except the Hornet, the centerfire p dog rifles will shoot sub .75 inch 100 Yd groups. For me, the 204 Ruger, 17 Fireball, and 17 HMR rifles will cover most my p dog shooting. But when I can get an accurate Hornady 17 Hornet rifle Ill give it a tryout. It must have a low muzzle blast , flat shooting out 175 yards ,could be a fine round for spring p dog pup shooting. I have two accurate bolt action 223 Rem rifles but dont use them since getting the 204 rifle. [/QUOTE]
