Tall Shadow, I have been shooting a Ruger 77 mk II and have had exceptional performance using 35.6gr of Winchester 748 under a Midway 55gr Dogtown which is giving about 3600fps at the muzzel and prints 1/4" at 100 yds. Quite the rosy mist result
Hope this helps Good luck
I previously posted an INCORRECT 45.6gr load IT PAYS TO ALWAYS TO CHECK YOUR INFORMATION AND NEVER POP OFF A LOAD FROM THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD. NEVER I REPEATE NEVER ATTEMPT A 45.6GR LOAD!!!!
Hey 6.5x53.5, I've been curious about using Midway's Dogtown bullets on P-dogs.... are you using this on Prairie dogs, or something else? What kind of performance (Red-mist wise) are you getting while using them?

I'm planing a South Dakota Prairie dog hunt next year, and will be needing to load 2k+ of ammo for it.....Most of that in .223, but about 400-500 in .22-250. I was looking for an economical bullet to use in both, and I was wondering how well the Dogtown bullets might work. They look like an ideal cost saving option...If I can get good "Misting" performance out of them.

Thanks!
Tall Shadow
