[QUOTE="Unofficial Gun Addict (UGA), post: 1151237, member: 81139"] Heya! Maybe I'm missing something here?!?! For me, the 223 puts more mutts down than any other cartridge in my safe. It's cheap, crazy accurate, and with the call running, I've never had to shoot more than 375 yards (and that was a fluke... it was a single mutt and it was coming for a long yote challenge... and then my call switched over to a multiple mutt challenge and he backed off 70-80 yards). I usually end up bringing them in within 100. Last weekend every dog that showed up was within 30-100.... and that was 8 dogs on 3 stands. Honestly... there's nothing wrong with any of the calibers you mentioned, but if you are looking for a flat shooter out to 500.... it's hard to beat a 22-250. I consider the 308 and 6.5 to be a fur destroyers on mutts, at least for me. Get's the job done no doubt... but ****... a bit of over kill. Pair your 223 with some American Eagle 50 gr Varmint Tips. Out of all the mutts I've killed, every one of them has been DRT (except the 375 yard mutt as I underestimated my kentuky windage and hit him in the groin)... and they are extremely accuarate out of my DPMS Sweet 16 and Savage Hog Hunter. Get .3x moa at 100 out of them which is crazy.... cause they are only like $12. You've already got a mutt killing cartridge in your arsenol! Put that sucker to use brother!! Good luck!! [/QUOTE]
