    much to learn grasshopper. Have you witnessed what a .243 running 55 gr b-tips at about 4000 fps does? Several calibers perform much much better than the lowly .223. 22-250, 220 swift. Heck, even the .204 does everything that a .223 can do on prairie dogs.

    Actually, I've shot them with 7.62x39, 5.56, .308, 30-06, and 22-250. At longer distances I agree that the bigger calibers are a better choice, but at 100 yards, the 223 blows em up just fine, and for much cheaper, thank you very much.
