.243 Win for Prairie Dogs

Depends on how you treat it....200 rds an hr or 20 rds per hr...

I have no use for either one....overbore....but again...I don't wanna

start a pizzin' match.......if you're a dedicated p/dog shooter you consider

bore/powder ratio.......a recent 223 AI barrel I used had 9K rds out...still

shot 1/2" p/dog MOA......sold it for $110 shipped....buyer was happy..... :D
 
I will most likely choose a savage in .223. Question is, new or used from Gunbroker? Chamber to AI later on. Any recommended gunsmiths to do it, close to Arizona?
 
Response to request for gunsmith for 223AI work near AZ. Berry Davis in Bayfield, CO has built me two. Great work quick turn around time. PM for further info.

Lester Bruno has built rifles for me and is very good - and is in Phoenix. Another is Allen Elliot who is also nearby Phoenix -he is rebarreling a .17 for me at this time.
 
Anyone shooting 6mm-whatever at rodents large and small should try Speer 70-gr TNT. It's a classic flat-based, thin-skinned explosive HP, very accurate, and cheaper than any of the tipped bullets or match HPs in its weight class.

PS

I see 70-gr Varmageddon FB are cheap at Midway (when in stock) and I hear they shoot real nice. They win the price battle over 70-gr TNT anyway.
