Richard Franklin, http://www.accurateshooter.com/guns-of-week/gunweek042/, has years of experience shooting groundhogs and building custom rigs just for that purpose. He swears by the 6mmAI with 75 grainers to reach out 600-900 yards. The article gives you a good insight to building rigs specifically for long range groundhogs.

Richard was years ahead of most in long range hogging. I visited him couple of times in Va before he left the state. Extreme range shooting calls for larger pills from 6.5 and larger. I suspect he is big in them these days.

I suspect that the number of hogs in SW Va are seriously diminished by Coyotes over the incredible possibilities he and his friends shared. His video at prime time was incredible. Those were the days ........
