[QUOTE="drags, post: 1153239, member: 1895"] It has not been my experience that a .204 type caliber is good past 300 yards, I have one and I really like it out to about 250 yards after that I like my 22x47 lapua with 80 g. a-max bullets. I shot at a groundhog at 345 yards with the .204 and missed him twice the next time I hunted there he came out and I used the 22x47 and got him on the first shot. Now I am talking groundhogs not prairie dogs where you can walk shots into them, most of the time the groundhogs don't stay around after a miss. The calibers I like are .223 .204 out to 250 yards, the standard 22-250 with 52 or 55 gr. bullets out to about to 350 yards and the 22x47 past that. My longest kill on a groundhog with the 22x47 is 510 yards. Joe [/QUOTE]
