Hi all,
I am going on a prairie dog hunt in Montana this summer. I have multiple riifles up for the task but I am strongly considering bringing my bolt action .308 with a 1 in 11.25 twist heavy barrel.
What weight / brand of bullet would you recommend for this rifle? I will hand load the rounds. I'd like to use this rifle for shots out past 500 yards. Will 125 grain TNT's work? I am open to all of your suggestions.
Thank you.
Chris
PS. I have only used 168 and 175 grain Sierra Match Kings in this rifle with superior results.
