VEE is for varmints..40Gr Hornady V Max are about the best bullet
out there for prairie dogs...@ 3700fps from a 223 they will turn
one into a Red Mist.l have used them the past 15 years in most of the Western States on prairie dogs...NOT hog bullets Biggest thing l have killed with them was a coyote.

Zee. May l suggest you gift your rancher friend some 223 ammo with a tougher bullet Winchester makes a fine 63gr big game bullet...lf he reloads a box of 60gr Nosler Partitions.. Either way l guarantee he will be grateful
