True story, best shot (which was mostly luck) I've ever made. The kid doing the spotting was really jacked up about it, I was too. Prarie dogs have a lumbering kind of gait so maybe it was scampering. I can still see it, had aboUT a foot of lead from cross hairs to nose. Basically he ran into it.

Pretty sweet. I shot a flying grouse with a 22 once but it was a lot closer than that  :chuckle:

What's twist is the barrel?  Generally if a barrel shoots 50gr. bullets well, it won't shoot 69 gr or heavier well.

Not really. In fact, all of my fast twist barrels also shoot 50gr varmint bullets well. In my 1:8 twist 16" barrel, the 50gr stuff is generally the easiest to find good loads for, but it also shoots 75 & 77gr well.

The "light bullets don't shoot well in fast twists" idea is just a holdover from back when bullets were less concentric and consistent than they are now. With good modern bullets, it's not really true anymore, in my experience.
