[QUOTE="TheDoubleD, post: 3496101, member: 43754"] I have spent all day in the same spot never moving shooting over the same town. I would be challenged with 200 yard .22LR rimfire shoots, not so much with the 17 HMR. 200 yard shots and beyond really out side my rimfires shooting skills. 200 yards would be my maximum iffy range for rimfire on prairie dogs. Gophers beyond 150 would be wasted ammo. Out to 300 is for the small centerfires .22 and 17 Hornets and Bee's and similar such. 350 stretching it for the .223 AR's-although I will confess to having a heavy varmint AR that has not been tested long range on little varmints yet. For shots out beyond .350 break out the bolt guns, .223, 22-250 and I have a heavy-17lb .219 Donaldson Wasp for the the long shots with kills beyond 500 with these guns. Yes the dogs do go down at shots, especially close ones, but they come back up. The long ranges ones tend stay up. Of course I must further confess that all this long range shooting is done sitting at a shooting table, gun rested on sandbag. I also have to confess the majority of my prairie dogging was done around Dalhart, Colorado and Montana. I have never shot an Oklahoma Prairie dog, they might act different [/QUOTE]
