[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 6284, member: 25"] Dave, I also just got back from some trips, almost a month of steady travel - Texas, N. Sask., SE Manitoba and Montana - and had some interesting experiences. On a fly-in one fellow had a fish hook pop loose from a big pike and it flew straight into his mouth, one hook had to be pushed thru his lower lip so the barb could be cut off. Same fellow shot a bear that rough scored 23 so he was happy, despite a slightly swollen lower lip. Next trip I setup my moving target system and some tv guys were shooting balloons with archery equipment with good accuracy at 30 yards, then we put a 6" steel plate on it and burned up a bucket of .22lr, great clanging sounds and the plate was heavy enough it never wobbled. Then down to SE Manitoba to a great bear/deer outfitter, right in the corner near Minnesota and Ontario. Then up to shoot prairie dogs in Montana with the .223 WSSM, .22-250, .220 Swift, .223 and the mighty .308 Win. You would have enjoyed a rifle that Jeff Hoffman shared with me, a brand new AR-10 in .308 Win. Only way to shoot p-dogs is with 20 shot mags! My farthest hit with the AR-10 was 547 on a newly minted dog, it was about half the size of a gopher.
