Prairie Dog Rifle Question

All depends on how far you wish to shoot. I've shot dogs out to 762 yards(confirmed) with a .243 and 90gr Bergers, but if I wished to go out further I'd probably bust out my .284 Win, .300 RPC or .338 Lapua.

Many of my long range rifles have been Savage single shot target actions with a Shilen prefit. I've had full customs as well, but for the $$$ you can't beat the target action with a shilen prefit.
 
I'm also shooting a 9 twist savage .223 for prairie dogs. I'm in the process of developing a load of 73gr ELD-M with CFE223. Hornady max load looks outstanding on steel at 200 yards. 60gr vmax also very good in this rifle.

I also pack a 204 ruger, a pair of R700s in 222 rem, a Ruger 77/17 in 17M2, and occasionally a 270wsm shooting 85gr Barnes MGPs @ 4100fps!

More rifles = better
