[QUOTE="Max Heat, post: 635280, member: 43153"] You want better "splat factor" on groundhogs? Can you say "vaporization"? That's what I have MY "sights" set on. I'm talking maybe just a few bone fragments, hairs, and tiny red spots, were the hog USED to be! I don't think the 220 can handle big enough bullets to make it happen, on something of that size. But enter the 7RUM, the Nosler 120gr ballistic tip, and 96.5gr of RL25 behind it, for 3950fps, resulting in 40% of the hitting power of a .50BMG! If that doesn't do it well enough, 100gr hollow points, that you might get 4200fps out of with 100gr of the right powder, surely will. That would be a 1:1 ratio of powder-to-bullet weight, resulting in pure annihilation. The 220 CAN achieve that ratio also, but only on a much smaller scale. [/QUOTE]
