[QUOTE="Milepost, post: 1492085, member: 104022"] Oops!, My bad... Missed that it would be for prairie dogs! Then I would pick the 6.5 Sherman but don't discount the lowly 243 AI or 6mm Comp. Those 6 mm 115 DTAC have a .620 BC and can be pushed at 3200fps. Also Badlands bullets have a new 100 gr hunting bullet with a claimed .58 BC. In a 6mm Comp they leave the barrel at @ 3350 fps.....1200 yards on prairie dogs - not a problem... I totally understand your concerns about picking a cartridge that minimize your wind issues but IMO learning to make good wind calls is all part of the learning process for LR shooting. Don't try to beat the wind by picking the fastest cartridge just learn to trust that supercomputer between your ears... [/QUOTE]
