red prariefire bullets

[BILLY D.]

WHAT ARE YOU USING FOR A VARMINT LOAD IN THE .308? I JUST BUILT ONE AWHILE BACK AND HAVEN'T GOT TO DO A WHOLE WITH IT LATELY. A FEW WEEKS AGO I WAS FELLING FROGGY SO I PACKED UP THE CROSS COUNTRY SKIS AND MY HORNET AND WENT OUT IN SEARCH OF WILEY.

FOUND WILEY AND ALSO HAD A BACK SPASM. SURE GLAD I WASN'T TOO FAR FROM THE TRUCK OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN SOL. I DON'T THINK MY BUDDY WOULD APPRECIATE A CELL PHONE CALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AFTERNOON TO COME SWEEP ME UP OFF THE PRAIRIE AND TAKE ME HOME.

I GOT MY PROJECT GUN SHOOTING WELL WITH 168 GR HPBT'S BUT THEY ARE TOUGH ON GOPHERS. NOTHING LEFT BUT THE PAWS.

WHAT KIND OF SCOPE ARE YOU USING? I PUT A BURRIS 6-24 SIGNATURE MIL DOT ON MINE. AND OF COURSE WE HAVE THE ACI. A BUBBLE LEVEL AND A PULLOUT BALLISTIC CHART ON IT. BARELY HAD ROOM ENOUGH TO PUT THE SCOPE RINGS ON. BUT IT ALL FIT INTO A NICE LITTLE? PACKAGE. SO FAR I'M PLEASED WITH MY EFFORTS.

LET ME KNOW ABOUT THE VARMINT LOADS. THANKS.
