With 40 gr Nosler BT or Hornady V-Max at 3750 fps they do an amazing job with minimal recoil. I am envious, it will be next spring before I have another opportunity to shoot them again. drover 223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers. 24hourcampfire.com - The site where there is a problem for every solution.

With the current fad of black polymer precision rifles, gotta love the pic of the blue steel and walnut rifle doin' its thing. Good to see a healthy population of prairie dogs, too.

K22, I shoot the first load I actually tried in the Cooper 23.0 of 748 and 25grain V-MAX Rusty, Thanks for the offer on the 458 but the doc says no. I think I'm going to step up to my Martini 204 for antelope in a few weeks. Last edited by 6MMWASP; 09/28/19.

I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.
