yesterday with my 25-06 I'll use for antelope and deer this fall

1st shot at it

lasered it both directions

no pics but I do have a witness

able to hit the 550 yard gong at the local range so I should be good to go for antelope next month

Excellent shooting.

Good shootin'!

I hit several @ 600yds with the 20PPC it always give you that "special" feeling. ADam

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!

"Think you used enough dynamite there Butch?"

Shoot a Swift, they still look like that at 400+ yds!

i second that. Shot some at 360 this weekend with the swift. Carnage!!

Actually that is about what I felt like when I got up this morning....

to a coyote that looks like the Buffet at Old Country Buffet looks to us...

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!
