Reminds me of that scene from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid when they blew up the boxcar. Used enough gun on that one didn’t you.
My other auto is a .45

Good deal Mike, I run the same caliber in a 1-8 twist with 75 Amax at 3425 and they really mess them up too!

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

The launch to landing was impressive as well as the hang time.

Ya really want some air time?
I've learned to bounce the round right in front of the ground squirrels or prairie dogs, and it hits them as shrapnel... it gives results like that... and the heavier the bullet, the more it blows them skyhigh.
The optimal carnage ( even better than 3 or 4 standing in a row, and one shot taking them all down) is if one is standing out side of a hole, that has a mound behind it and the varmint, piled up when the hole was dug.... bounce it right in front of the prairie dog or ground squirrel...its hit by shrapnel and then will hit the mound behind, and then some of that bounces back off the mound and hits the animal from behind as well...
that will send them airborne in parts...I've hit ground squirrels that way, and have half of it go 20 ft to the right, and the other half 20 feet to the left.. just depends on how the ' bounce' hit them the second time... other times 10 to 12 feet in the air.. and that is with a 223...
a 22.250 is just more of a good thing.. same as a heavier bullet will also do...
red mist gets addictive out in the varmint fields..

The best ‘show’ I’ve ever seen was on prairie dogs using the 36 gr varmint grenades. Even though they kinda suck ballistically; they’ll still unglue prairie dogs like nothing else at 800 yards. Those 88s look pretty impressive too. All my fast twist guns are 6mm or larger.

I used a custom Savage Target action with a 1:8" twist Brux barrel chambered in .243 WSSM, with a Barnes 62 grain Varmint Grenade @3,500 fps. I would show some pictures but the Oregon ground squirrels completely vanished when hit. All we ever found was a short tunnel blasted in the alfalfa and a few pink flecks of goo on the dirt. Seems their bodies filled with wet alfalfa blew up. At least they didn't suffer.
