[QUOTE="Shrapnel, post: 3057237, member: 109140"] I’m not sure what’s practical about a 20 Practical. The 204 Ruger is already available in ammunition, reloading components and rifles. It just seems more “practical” to shoot the 204. I’m not one to shy away from odd cartridges, I have tons and some that few people have ever heard of. But Prairie Dogs for all practical purposes are best shot with a rifle that you can feed as much inexpensive ammunition that you can. I don’t stay away from odd varmint cartridges. I just find it easier to get brass that is more common so when it wears out, you can get some more. I would vote for a 204 Ruger and buy as much ammunition and components, then get a 17 Hornet, and a 17 Remington, a 22 Hornet, a 222, a 223, 222 magnum, 22 PPC, 6mm PPC, 224 Weatherby mag, 22-250 and 220 Swift. That way when you go shooting prairie dogs, you will have something in the shade to keep the barrel cool… [ATTACH type="full"]552294[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]552295[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]552296[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]552297[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
