[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2178585, member: 9299"] For many decades, I enjoyed shooting P-dogs with a 222 and 223 for the shorter, 500yds and under, and the 6mm's or 25-06 for the out-to-horizon shots. Then I went to fast twist, 1/9 and 1/8 - 223's, so I could shoot lighter bullets for the closer shots and switch to the 75-80's for extended or better wind drift. Once I went to faster twist 22-250's and 22-250AI's using 75's and heavier, I have nearly retired my 243s/6mm's and 25-06's from P-dog shooting. When I am out for a shorter distance (<300yds) shooting trip and want the most precision I can have for those skittish later season dogs who peek out of holes for long times, I still take my 222's.
