I hunt groundhogs in Pa on Mennonite farms exclusively. These people raise a family of up to 12 on about $30,000. So keeping the groundhogs out of the large gardens is a HIGH priority. I've even been shown an ideal shooting position-right outside the kitchen window!
On previous posts the noise of a BD load has been described as "ppffft." Seriously,thats it? That shouldn't rattle the dishes or wake up the little ones like my Ruger 22-250. At what range can you still expect a clean kill? What is the trajectory? The more I find out about my little 17 Rem, the more it fascinates me. Thanks, Kurt |

Kurt if you are that close to the house I would use either 7g,8g,9g, or 10g of Bluedot. The 10g BD load does a little over 3000fps w/25g bullets, and 3250fps w/20g Vmax bullets. The 10g BD load sounds like a 22 mag. for noise level. Thanks. |

Hey, thanks for the quick reply. What primer are you using with the BD? There is an online ballistics program right? Does anybody know it web address? I'd like to see what they can do. |
