[QUOTE="tuck2, post: 844856, member: 23575"] Freddiej: I got a Winchester Mdl 70 270 in 1952 with a Weaver K - 4 scope. I started reloading in 1953. I used 4895 powder, Hornady 100 GR bullets in Winchester cases with Winchester primers. I ll never forget shooting my first prairie dog shot at about 300 yards with the 270. In 1956 I got a Sako 222 Rem for p dog shooting , the 270 was a bit much for shooting three pound critters. But for ten pond critters I would take a few with a 270. An accurate 22-250 with less muzzle blast and recoil may be better for shooting ground hogs. I v looked at the 223 WSSM , its faster than my 220 Swift and would give some extra shooting range. . I d consider a 1 in 12 or 1 in 10 rifling to handle heaver bullets with a higher BC. [/QUOTE]
