Considering a 93r17 BRJ

[Little Dutch]

I have found the same on pdogs with the 17. If you are much further than about 200 it doesn?t kill unless shot is placed in head or chest. I wouldn?t shoot them much further than that with the 17 anyway. However it is a great round for shooting in volume, and the difference between it and 22LR on pdogs is very noticeable even at 100.

Quit trying to talk me into a .204 Ruger!
I've been looking at the .204 recently, specifically for prairie dog hunting, debating on it for longer range shots with no recoil. Ruger American Predator, transfer fee, Vortex Viper HS 30 mm scope, Vortex Pro medium rings, 100 count of Hornady 32g bullets, brass, Hornady custom dies, Lee factory crimp die, and a spare magazine comes to $1225.96. That's a chunk of money to spend on prairie dogs...
Then I would probably need a TBAC 6.5 suppressor for it, that's going to double the cost of the build. Gets expensive fast.

Could always use 223 and build a smooth shooting gun. I have a rifle length 18? with adjustable gas block and the A5 buffer system that I use the H0 in. Makes a very smooth and low recoil gun.
