Prairie dogging with the 222 for the 4th of July

[@dancolley4208]

Man, that thing hits hard. The best I saw you do was with a .243. They got airborne !!! I'm with you on prioritizing holidays. Christmas first, 4 July second and Vets Day 3rd. God and Country, brother.

[@rubenvillegas339]

Christmas, Easter and the 4th of July. Thank you for the great videos.

[@juliusjames5577]

Yup, 4th of July 3rd.

[@rickyshultz2051]

I grew up on 222 from savage24 and a 340 then to my favorite a rem 788 !

[@tomb6269]

Great video! Enjoy seeing you enjoy the .222 as I enjoy mine. Have a Savage 340, love it for coyotes, fox, crows,...etc, here in MI. Have taken 2 crows lined up together at 200 yards, twice. Had 3 crows lined up at 150 yards, after the shot, 2 were laying there and the 3rd dropping feathers as he left. 3 generations of the family have taken whitetail deer with it. Thanks for the videos, entertaining and instructional.

About 30 years ago I fired into a flock of sparrows with my Mossberg 500 12 gauge pump with a 28" vent rib barrel with the modified choke installed. I was using 2 3/4" 1 1/8 oz #9 shot. One shot hit and killed at least 25 of them all at the same time. I left them for the cats who were going nuts to help themselves to dinner. I have shot pairs of things over the years too, but that one shot was a lucky one in a million that I have never been able to duplicate since.

The 222 is still very popular in Sweden. I own one, and a 223 aswell. Notging wrong with the 223 but I much prefer the old 222. Greetings from the dark forests of Scandinavia!

[@peterhert9350]

👍...I prefer my 222's (Browning Abolt and a rare Voere Titan Menor Singleload ) although over my 223 (cz527). I bought the CZ because of the use with an Ljuddämpar and the use of heavy Bullets. With my old Voere i shoot this spring nearly the Worldrecord with 222 from the year 1974 (one Flyer) with a 3-9 scope and 52 grain HPBT. Both Cartridges are great for Training, Reloading and Hunting.

Sir I'm replying to your 10 months old comment about 222 VS 223 and I'll share my opinion that the 223 exists only because 556 was adopted by the US military and NATO. Other than that, it's difficult to argue that 223 is superior and impossible for me to make such an argument. Cheers.

Awesome shoot

Thanks for taking us along on another hunt. Stay safe and be well.

Proud to be an American. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

[@BarryB382]

Hey CD, which barrel cooler do you use?

[@cavedweller1959]

Only have one, it's a Chamber Chiller. It's made for the .473" bolt face barrels, does not fit the .378" chambers. Need to monkey rig an adapter or buy another one for the .222, .223 &.204.

[@oldschool9932]

Awesome....thank you for sharing.

Looks like you are blessed with a lot of Canadian thistle. I would enjoyed being with you with my Sako L461 in 222 Rem Mag. Custom build.

[@juliusjames5577]

Good stuff! You just don’t hear much about the .222 anymore. An accuracy standard.

[@kenuber4766]

Man CD, some of those thistles are huge.

[@neilhyman8165]

Was just out in SD for a prairie dog shoot last month. Been doing it every year for the past 5 years and this year was one for the record books. Most dogs I've ever seen. Went through about 2400 rounds in 3 days. Just curious, what part of SD are you shooting in?

[@jshkskansas897]

Remind me to never loan you a rifle. You say about 2400, we will say2000 rounds. Call it a 12 hour day. By my math that comes out to an average of .90 shots per minute for 12 hours for three days. I hunt prairie dogs two to three times a year. I have never ever had a rate of fire of that rate. Curious of what CONFIRMED hit percentage was. Impressive to say the least.

[@neilhyman8165]

@@jshkskansas897 I should clarify that it was me and my two sons, so three of us shooting from about 9:00 am to 6:00 pm for three days. We estimated our hit rate to be about 70-80 percent. We had a lot of targets under 250 yards which is not common for us. Historically 80 percent of our shots have been between 250 and 400. But this year, they were closer and with little to no wind which is also very uncommon for SD. And also all bolt guns, no semi autos. Shooting .223, .243 and 6.5 Creedmoor. Went through about 1400 rounds of .223, 600 rounds of .243 and just about 400 rounds of 6.5CM. Oh and about 20 rounds of .308 but the .308 was way too loud and was scaring them down, so I put the .308 away.

Love the 222. It’s a pleasure to shoot.

Man, you have some good eyes. I did not catch that. Thanks for the heads up.

Excellent!

[@jimreed6653]

I see you're using the Bog Deathgrip. Do you like it better over your Bog Deadshot?

[@mikelockhart9114]

@Jim Reed, I bought one of those on CD59’s recommendation and it works very well. I’ve had it out on dog towns twice holds the rifle steady and I wasn’t laying prone for days on end, also gets you up out of the grass a little

[@jimreed6653]

@@mikelockhart9114 Which one did you buy, Deathgrip or Deadshot?

[@cavedweller1959]

They both work. I had the Primos Deadshot for 2-3 seasons before the Deathgrip came out. Had I bought the Bog 1st, I would never bought the Primos.
