RE: Ground Hogs
i use my 3006 with 150gr corelokts or power points..whatevers cheap. ive got kills out passed 300yds. youd be surprised but they dont expand all too much. usually the exit side is kinda..ruptured with some of the insides on the outside..but the nasty 22cals made for it do alot more damage with the right bullets. i never cared how much of a groundhog i blew up. i leave them there for crows and yotes etc to eat. only critter i will shoot and not eat..and usually nothing edible left...i DID find a custom hand loader that said they would load me 110gr hornady Vmax bullets at like 14$ a box! let me see if i cant find the email....i havent ordered yet but most likely will if ill be home to hunt this summer.
