[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2661589, member: 8394"] Interesting. They seem to shoot alright in my rifle, my first foray in using the rifle was on a very windy beach and was a bit surprised at how much they got pushed around by it. Probably wasn't a fair assessment and a poor application choice for the task at hand. I'd like to try the 25s whenever hornady gets around to making more. Had a brief foray in sub calibers with a model 12 savage with the ugliest Richard's microfit Culbertson prone stock back in college. Was fun on sage rats but near 13 lbds and went down the road pretty quick. Last year ended up with both a hornet and 204, and it's been a whole new learning curve getting setup and acclimated to tiny bullets. Some of those groundhogs are massive. Did some rock chuck hunting back in the day but they looked like about 70% the size of the ones in the picture. A rancher had them tearing up the backside of a dike and we went out and whacked them. Sadly unlike sage rats we seem to have shot them all as we had 7, 3, 1 and then never saw another for the rest of the year or even the next. [/QUOTE]
