Siggly-I shot out one barrel on my old 700 when it was a 300 mainly on chucks at long range. I've used it more than a fair bit on yotes, pd's and gophers as well.

This was pre 110 VMax so I used the 110 Sierra HP (very accurate) and the 125 TNT quite a bit which has always been as accurate of a 30 cal bullet I've ever found.

I found on chucks the heavier slugs would toss them around quite a bit better than the 110's would. For smaller rodents I'd think about the 110 Sierra HP, 125 TNT and I'd for darn sure try the 110 VMax's.

Best of luck to ya!

Personally, I find that using my deer/elk rifles for rodents is incredibly good for me. If I can powder a chuck at 450-500 fairly easily then a elk at 500 is a chip shot!
