Them is some tough rats. You had to keep killing them. It sure was good you had Zombie bullets.

I can get em to flip a foot or two with the HMR. It's really good for when the babies come out.

I can get em to flip a foot or two with the HMR. It's really good for when the babies come out. Bouncing a bullet right in front of them will do that, but a 223 will bounce them 7 to 8 ft in the air, doing that same thing... if I don't use a 223 ( and I load them to 22 Hornet or 218 Bee specs), then I go with the 22 LR.. headshots out to 125 yds with a good accurate 22....then watch them flop around like a fish out of water for a 20 to 30 yd radius... 17 HMR is too much power for that... bank flop, is just not a fraction of the fun....

Guess I'm WAY over doing it with my 220 Swift and full power loads - can you say 'bits and pieces'? Once, in a dream, I was attacked by a prairie dog and ever since that horrible sleepless night I've always felt it critical to use enough gun.  Have I told you I also use a 6mm?

This one had his mind blown by the effect of the 17 grain V Max... ![[Linked Image]](http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i345/AcornRidgePhotos/Mobile/CAM01102_zpsf2eb9449.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i345/AcornRidgePhotos/Mobile/CAM01104_zps18624927.jpg) Have I said I love my HMR?

I am using 17 grain V Maxes and I want 'bang' and squirrel here and there... Using the 17 grain Hornady Vmax, but that is on Belding's, not California G.S. A tad smaller animal. I even flipped one or two with a .22LR using the segmented hollow-point ammo. For "chunkage" I go with the .204 Ruger. This year I'll be trying the 20 VT and 17 Hornet, so stand by for new video...
