[QUOTE="Browninglover1, post: 2176958, member: 29966"] Out to 150 yards: 17 HMR 150-300 yards: 204 or 223 300-500 yards: 22-250 500+: 243 or 6.5 Creedmoor 17 HMR is usually our truck gun when driving between or through prairie dog towns. Centerfires provide so much more “splat” factor and for economics it’s tough to beat the 204 or 223 but the 22-250 gives more consistent acrobatics in my experience, especially over 400 yards. For the long shots it’s worth it to take a 6mm or larger. My personal best was 1404 yards with my 6 Creedmoor. [/QUOTE]
