570 with my Rock River Varmint is my personal best...not on the first shot, though; I had to walk 'em in. I didn't have the distance until I walked to the dead dog and lasered the truck.

I enjoy shooting them closer so I can get the red mist!  whelennut ![[Linked Image]](http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd264/jimk55359/DSC00234.jpg)
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.

Johnnyappleseed: Great shot there on the Prairie Dog - good for you!
And first shot no less.
Back in 1969 I had a brand new Remington Rifle in the then brand new 25/06 Remington caliber.
I headed for the Colville Indian Reservation in north central Washington State to Hunt Rock Chucks with it.
I was doing so-so with it but did not care for the recoil when I spot a big old Boar Chuck on a rock ledge a LONG way out there!
I set up my new 25/06 and sent 16 rounds down range before I killt said Chuck on the 17th shot.
This was before laser range finders and I decided that said Chuck HAD to be 500 yards out there so I paced off (out and back) my "shot".
It was right at 450 yards.
And again this was a BIG Chuck.
Your first shot hit on the Prairie Dog, again, was indeed a very good shot.
Good luck come Speed Goat season!
