The title pretty well sums it up . What do you folks use for squirrel ? How about long range rabbit, prarie dog (200yds) ? Bullet , rifle combo ? Thanks .

dogslayer,I like 45 hawken PRB and 55gr RS for small game but a load of 50 gr and PBR will work well in most 45 or 50 cal inline.
For varmit and medium game I like 50/40-200gr with 150 APP.
Good for corn thives to. Lee

dont get all into it but i use the most accurate load in my 50cal tc hawken flinter...which is a PRB on top of 90grs of goex......killed 2 groundhogs with that load..one was a 45yd shot....with a witness that will tell the story better then i can....he ran to school bragging about me....he about chit his panties when the smoke cleared and it was laying there.....he said i could shoot..but he was backing me with a 7mm weatherby mag and ready to fire as soon as the groundhog moved after the shot....i asked him why he didnt fire...he said i knocked him straight back...looking through his 9x scope he saw it all happen....i just seen smoke...i am proud of that one

Since you're considering shooting hundreds of yards, the best powder will be determined by your rifle. The caliber of the rifle could also make a difference as does the type of ignition. If this were an inline rifle, then I would be considering Triple Se7en if your rifle shoots it well.

The other powder to consider is Goex. Goex for me gives me consistant time after time accuracy.
