Fraser, Well done! I shot a woodchuck with a 200 gr Hornady out of the 35 Whelen. It worked very well indeed! No picture though. whelennut
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.

This is a varmint hunters rig big bore style! What's the story on that thing? Reminds me of a Suzuki Samarai I saw at the Islamabad airport with a machine gun mounted on the top of the roll bar, gunner standing in the back so he could fire over the head of the driver. My personal destruction nadir was a small snowshoe bunny the size of a small cottontail, shot with Speer hollowpoint 60 grain bullet from a hot loaded 6mm Rem at a range of 35 feet. The shot left a pink swath on the snow 10 feet wide and 40 feet long, with rabbit parts dangling from nearby trees as fur rained down softly all around. The largest piece was a hind foot attached to one ear by a long thin string of skin. I'd meant to shoot his head off and eat him...

The 220 Swift is not a medium bore so I guess I am hi-jacking my own thread however I thought I would share. This is the result of Nosler 55 gr Ballistic Tip and a prairie dog meeting for the first time.

Yep...you need help.... We shot up a bunch of gophers one day with a .40-65 and 400 gr. boolits...backed by black powder. That excited me, but counseling has helped.... I'm afraid of a relapse though.......... Ingwe

I'm suffering right now. Last night I started loading some Speer 100 gr HP's at 3300 fps for my 270. It's part of my Barrel Maker Stimulus Plan. whelennut

I shot a ground squirrel with a 250 gr Speer out of my 35 Whelen AI. It first I couldn't find a mark on it but on close inspection there was a slight crease on his skull. It looked like a part in its hair.
Somewhere around my office are some pictures of my business partner shooting ground squirrels with Cindy Garrison using a .470 double rifle. I don't know if it was the recoil or cost of ammo that made him switch back to his 22-250.
He who joyfully marches in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice.

If I can wake up in the morning I hope to have a story tomorrow about a coyote that meets up with a rem 260. I bought a new call on at time to Arkansas this week at this place called Nite Lite Outdoors and can't wait to try it out.

I've been known to let the red squirrels (tree rats) have it with whatever I have handy be it my MKIII, 10/22, 204 Ruger 20 gauge slugs, 30-30 or my latest .260 Rem.
Plan is to build a 260 Rem heavy varminter as a twin to my Sako Varmint Lam SS .204
I will say though that the .204 with frangible bullets and all of that speed does a number on squirrels and rabbits. I should have a pic here somewhere of a rabit split from near a-hole tthrough ribs with the meat blown clean off the rib bones in spots. Basically gutted with one shot from the .204...
