[QUOTE="Ponyroper, post: 217127, member: 423"] Going on my third year with a BMag heavy barrel and I love it. Had a .22 WRM and tried to shoot pdogs with it and gave up. No problem hitting them out to about 125 yards but they all crawled or ran away unless hit just right. They seldom do that now with the BMag and the range is 250 yards without a problem using the 20 grain bullets. 125-150 yards are are gimme's especially if I use my range finder. I have found a range finder to be a great help because my range estimating skills are terrible and when you want to keep the bullet inside a 1-2" circle out to 250+ yards the bullet drop can be a big factor. I prefer to shoot prone pdogs at long distances because I can pinpoint the vertical position with the range finder and then don't have to worry much about wind drift because I have a larger horizontal target when the pdog is prone. Upped my hit percentage dramatically when I started doing this. Also I found the 20 grain bullets work much better on pdogs as the 25 grain bullets seem to often pass through without much shock or damage, kind of like the .22 mag bullets. No such problem with the 20 grainers. [/QUOTE]
