[QUOTE="Jerry M, post: 1359890, member: 6330"] 52 gr SMK are not good for Prarie Dogs out of a .223 Rem. At shorter ranges they kill quickly at longer ranges they needle through, allowing the dog to crawl back into their hole unless hit multiple times. Switched to 55 grain softpoint with excellent results, with necessary accuracy. There are too many great hunting bullets out there to use them on larger game and chance an animal to run off and not be recovered. Most hunts are too expensive to take a chance. Good luck Jerry [/QUOTE]
