I've gotten a reputation as a groundhog hunter. It's been a life long passion of mine. I started getting serious on 7/15/1975 when I moved to the Potomac Highlands of eastern WV. Hunting them has made me a better shot and prepared me for all my big game hunts.
I've kept exacting records of all the guns I've used and the distances of the kills.
My #1 gun are my SSK and Rem. rear grip XPs with 1714 kills. #2 .223 T/C Contender-1199 kills. #3 SSK .250 Sav. AI-1123 kills #4 FA/Ruger/Taurus .454s-855 kills #5 .44s 849 kills.
All my handguns up to .416 Taylor Encore have taken groundhogs. A very special day occurred 2 weeks ago while this site was down

It's been a long, satisfying run. I hope I can keep it going.
