Shooting a 6mm Creedmoor . How will 115 DTACs perform on prairie dogs . Last year used 95gr Sierra TMK and the dogs kept blowing when hit. But 3rd day was dang windy ,trying to minimize that problem.

I like the lighter bullets in the 70-87 grain range---they are flat shooting and expand quickly. Also target bullets can ricochet like crazy and if there are cattle in the field, look out!!!
