[QUOTE="J Doss, post: 1671154, member: 109284"] I have hunted pdogs in windy West Texas for a long, long time. I've used everything from 22LR to 7mmRM. My go to guns are 220 Swift and 17Rem. Shots out to 800+ on nice days and 400-600 on normal days. I do have to allow for wind drift, naturally. I have shot those guns enough to know my drift and use my mils. Above the Swift and 17Rem, I mostly use a 243. I know, old school calibers but they are hard to beat since I have shot them so much. Shooting the longer ranges with a new shooter might be a little challenging but, it's the comradery that makes it fun. Be careful on the faster mv guns. Shooting a barrel out on pdogs would not be fun. I rotate between guns, leaving the bolts open, when I'm set up on a town so I don't get my barrels to hot. Good Luck on your choice. [/QUOTE]
