Predator Hunting > Varmint Hunting
2014 ground hog season
TrappinJohn:
I'm ready! Nice video Ben and good shoootin
Picked up a Winchester model 70 Stealth II in 243 WSSM last year, have a lot of loads I want to try this summer. And of course the contender is always fun
bigben:
That .243wssm sounds like a barrel burner. Any reason why ya got that over a normal .243 win? Almost picked up a 7tcu a little bit back for the contender.
TrappinJohn:
I'm a big 243 fan, Already have a couple of them. Kinda always wanted a wssm ever since they came out with it. Probably not something you would want to take to a prairie dog town, but they have a chrome lined barrel. Keep it clean and cool, should last plenty long enough.
7tcu would be a fun caliber too. Working on some 110gr loads for my 309JDJ for groundhogs this summer. 2900 or so out of a 14" barrel should work pretty good
longhair:
Nice video Ben........ ;) ;)
TJ, you'll like the wssm. I know I like mine. ;) ;D ;D
After a few years of VERY limited hunt'n, I'm hope'n to carve out more time this year. Got a couple new lead spitters to try out. ;D ;D ;D
BTW~ the grass rats have been out for a few days although the "polar vortex" just might send back in fer a while. ::) ::)
bigben:
I thought yo liked the .243. I personally dont see the point behind the wssm series. Seems like a waste of powder too me. But some like vanilla compared to chocolate.
I havent seen any hogs out yet but have heard of sightings. I have hunted in march before for fields that get too grown up. Unless this cold weather gets replaced by 50 deg days i doubt you'll see many for a while.
