June 15th, 2020Small Varmint Safari.22LR — plus FREE Varmint TargetRimfire Varmint ExperienceCan you shoot prairie dog with a.22 LR rifle? If you have a good rifle, are familiar with your drops and keep your target within 240 yards, then yes. While the.17 HMR or.17 WSM are more potent and flat-shooting and can be used to kill P-dogs, a skilled marksman can still get good results using a.22 LR rimfire gun, as ace shooter and gunsmith Jim See proved recently. Norma TAC-22 ammunition delivered a powerful first-round kill, called a head shot at 189 yards. The first-round kill was the body-shot dog at 240 yards. I got one more head shot at 163 yards with a second-round hit. The.22 Long Rifle ammunition is great because the [critters] do not spook as much, so you can usually get a better hold on the wind with a follow-up shot. Even when not suppressed, a.22 LR rimfire round makes less noise than a standard centerfire round. A 50rd box costs only $4.99 at MidwayUSA. Some lots have shown outstanding accuracy. These target photos are from Champion Shooters Supply, which may have received an exceptional lot. This vendor says: “We’ve found that this works very well in Ruger handguns and target pistols. These are five-shot groups at 50 yard with an Anschutz 1911 rifle. “This is a great value.” Jim claims that the TAC-22 ammunition delivers 1? Jim says the TAC-22 ammo delivers 1?
