Good luck hitting them at 200 with the wind you will often find while hunting them.



That's why I referred to them as "Whiffle Bullets", not much good "at distance", however, I suspect most of the users for those bullets aren't using them for prairie dogs, but groundhogs at shorter distances, where it's not as windy all the time. I live in Kentucky, where we don't get the wind they do in South Dakota, for example. I've been on PD shoots where I had to use 68gr. Hornadys to hit prairie dogs at 200 yards, as lighter bullets couldn't buck the wind. You can't use those in a Hornet, though, which is the basis of this thread, anyway..........


You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
