Took a short trip NW last weekend to pop some prairie dogs. Used my MKII .25 impact with Nielsen 29gr slugs, and .22 MKIII Wildcat Sniper shooting Nielsen 20.2gr slugs. Shots between 35-120yrds.
Thanks! Wound up with 17 in the cooler, then I had to stop because the cooler lid wouldn't close.Awesome shooting on those p-dogs at some long distances too! Those are some big ones, nice pics.
Yeah…Why? inquiring minds want to know why you would gather potentially plague infested flea carrying varmints and put them in a cooler?Cooler? You going to eat them?
I'm a Falconer. I mainly do airguns in the off season since I don't fly/hunt my birds during time between late spring and early fall. I use them as food for my hawks in the off season so I don't have to buy food. I make sure to get anything that lead/lead fragments may have touched and discard it, (it's why I strive for head shots) and the rest is food for my hawks.Yeah…Why? inquiring minds want to know why you would gather potentially plague infested flea carrying varmints and put them in a cooler?
Don’t the coyotes and hawks need a meal?

Those 29grs seem to group really well for me in my impact with a superior liner. I tried a bunch of other weights and brands and none really came close to these.Great fun!
I hadn't shot at PD's in a decade but got an opportunity last week.
Got over 30 of them from 45y to 167y using NSA 29GR 25 CAL in my Uragan King.

I found them to expand a lot better for me than the hyrbrids. The hybrids were really accurate for me but expansion was absolute trash.I think the CG is about optimal on these and the bearing surface is short so leading isn't such a problem.
Also the hollow point helps for hunting. Not great expansion but they get the job done.
BC is low-ish but the wind wasn't bad either.
I'd use them again.
@kapok6 thats an unexpected answer but a great way to feed those birds.
Thanks for the explanation.
Keep up the good work.
I was culling the indigenous prairie dog population on the ranch today but the range was 150yds+ using powder burners, the hawks were circling before we left.
