When chicks couldn't speak

Well we went shooting prairie dogs at an undisclosed location.  My heavy barreled 22-250 worked really well when I wasn't hung over from all the long hours at the topless bars.  My load of 38.0 grains of H380 under a Hornady 50 gr. SX was devastating and I never had one bounce off the ground.  The PD's were generally turned inside out and some even split in half.  The wind was so bad that it blew your body around and we had to keep our shots under 250 yards to even have a chance at hitting.  My shooting buddy used a 30-06 and he got a bunch but recoil had a greater effect on him while my HEAVY 22-250 wore me out just handling it.

Yeah, that wind can give you fits. I learned a trick this year while shooting pdogs.  We had shot most of the close dogs and were having to shoot over 300 yds in a stiff 90 degree wind and missing a lot.   We decided if we set up at another spot they would be closer.  When we moved we had the wind behind us and our percentage of hits increased dramatically even tho the range was about the same.   Of course it might not always be safe to shoot the way the wind is blowing.
