I have some nice pictures of PDs hit witha 223. They don't even look similar....

I could post them, but they are graphic and give the antis visual proof of how "cruel" hunters are if they ever found them.

it's kinda like throwing a 5 pound roll of hamburger into the air :mrgreen:

Not quite sure what caliber they're using, but this should back up the "5 pounds of hamburger" comment nicely.

I shot a whole bunch today with my 17hmr and my 204 Ruger. I got a few of them 3-4 feet into the air with the 204. Also a lot of "Red Mist of Death." Farthest shot today was 165 yards with the 17, 275 with the 204.

Ahhhh they're so cute as they walk around, stand up and look around, and then they go flippin like an acrobat. :twisted:

I went shooting PDs today with a 22LR.

It doesn;t work too well. I hit one around 125 yards. He ran around about 10-15 yards before he dropped dead. Another one, I hit and he dropped but flopped around a little bit before he died. Range estimation is critical for shooting them with a 22LR.

Here is a pic of a 250 yard hit from an AR using 55gr Vmax bullets. He didn't move once hit. Be aware. This is a GRAPHIC picture. Click at your own peril. Then compare to the 22 hit shown above.

223 is better if you can use it.

Geeeze I can't imagine why he never moved again. [roll]

I have shot them with a 17HMR, works great out to about 150yards or so.
Then the wind moves that bullet around a lot.

For longer shots I like the 243WSSM, they don't go anywhere after that!
