Got out this morning to harass prairie dogs. Shot about 40-50 rounds. Hit probably 20. Started with my head up my rear slinging shots out and not paying attention to wind or accurate range. Changed to the .22 and went for a walk while the barrel cooled. Hit 4 or 5 with that and then went back to the .223. Started hitting after that and reached out and hit one at 265. That was the longest shot of the day. Hit a few more under 150 then went 5 straight out to about 160 including at off-hand shot at about 40. Hit and missed a few more and then connected with two more at just over 200 as I packed up. Not too shabby with a pencil barrel Savage .223 and a fuzzy BSA 3-9x40. Need to upgrade the scope on this rifle.
I wish I would’ve taken some pictures, but I didn’t. I did alright too. Some decent carnage with 55gr Nosler Varmageddon HP’s.
