Stormy morning at the Parma Rifle range, shooting my new Anschutz 1517 in .17HMR. It shot very well with my favorite ammo, the CCI VNT at 2784fps. I topped this off with a Nightforce NXS 2.5x10-42mm riflescope. It is suppressed by the Little Bird Suppressor from @ABSuppressor . I`ve never owned an Anschutz rifle (I have their pistol), so I picked this one up from Cliff`s Guns & Reloading in Boise. I kick myself for not buying one earlier in life! #17HMR

June, 1959 - Winchester introduces the .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire. I found this ad while researching the .222 Magnum in my American Rifleman magazine collection. I love this kind of stuff!

This is the Wichita action based, M700 footprint, .222 Remington Magnum rifle. The barrel is a Shilen Select Match and the trigger is also made by Shilen. The stock is a McMillan rifle stock. It has a tight chamber, so brass necks must be turned. My buddy has been shooting loading/shooting 50 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips. Based on the records, it is a very accurate rifle.

Another one gone. #PovertyPony As the firearms market softens, the acquisitions and closures of many brands will take place. Now is the time to really support manufacturers and gun shops. Be proactive for yourself, as well. Update: Purchase confirmed by Ruger. ...

One of the popular classic cartridges that I`ve never owned, or shot, is the .222 Remington Magnum. With some generosity from an old friend, I finally have a Circa Early 1990s custom rifle in my collection. Released in 1958 and meant for military use by Armalite, the .222 Mag was eventually rejected, but picked-up by Remington and released to the general public as a target/hunting round. I look forward to putting the .222 Magnum to work.

Whenever I pass through Bishop, CA, I stop at @mahoganysmokedmeats . I`ve been hitting this shop for jerky since I was a kid. $80+ later and I was set-up with a weeks worth of Honey Turkey jerky and Peppered Elk jerky! So good!

Northeastern Oregon Columbian Ground Squirrel hunting is WAY different than hunting Ground Squirrels in the open fields of Idaho and Nevada! Sneaking through the forest and picking them off stumps and dead falls, is tough! The .22 Jet with handloaded Hornady 35 grain NTX projectiles were wicked on these guys. Btw, this made the 6th different subspecies of ground squirrel I had shot in the past 30 days. Columbian ground squirrels are very cool!

High Country ground squirrel hunting in the Eastern Sierra of California with the RAW HM-1000 in .25 caliber. This is such an awesome, accurate, little air rifle. I spent the morning wandering through this entire area and connected on shots from 40 yards out to 68 yards. More to come.

Wyatt`s .223 AR setup is 🔥🔥🔥! The @BlackTalonTac trigger performed extremely well, allowing him to pop some longer range ground squirrels with the ADI .223 ammo!

The 55 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips are WICKED on Prairie Dogs and Rockchucks! I`m talking about inside-out, split in two, chunks flying 20 feet away... Just brutal. EXACTLY how a varmint bullet, out of an true varmint cartridge should perform! #24Varminter #3627FPS

This is the 1967 First Edition Hornady Handbook of Cartridge Reloading and to me, the all star lineup of classic cartridges. This is my guidebook for bringing back these cartridges and using them today. 58+ years ago, our varmint hunting forefathers had firearms and cartridges that were previously developed by true wildcatters, who dreamed up better ways to kill small varmints. What a time to be alive!

New painting by @VanWechelArt arrived! "Sun Kissed" is a painting I commissioned by the only artist I know that has painted Rockchucks (uellow-bellied marmots) perfectly in his other paintings. Check out his other works showing his amazing talent with animals, their habitat and light!

Many people have had issues with the .224 Valkyrie cartridge since it`s release about 8 years ago. I admit that the cartridge had issues with the heavy projectiles that were initially focused on by Federal. However, for us Varminters, the lighter, 60 and 69 grain offerings performed extremely well. The lower cost of components/factory ammo also gave the Valkyrie an edge over the more capable .22 Nosler. I own #5 different rifles chambered in the .224 Valkyrie and will continue to shoot this effective varmint cartridge until I`m dead. This @Uintah_Precision bolt-action upper is incredibly accurate and did an absolute bangup job on a lot of rockchucks last week, consistently taking them out at the 300+ yard range with the factory @HornadyMfg 60 grain VMax factory ammunition.

The custom .243AI helped knock out a bunch of rockchucks, including Dakota`s longest shot of the day at 441 yards. The Hornady 70 grain VMax performed very well at all ranges out to the longest shot. It`s topped with the Burris Veracity PH riflescope.

Ground Squirrel stew on the menu for tonight! Boil water in large pot, add 5 cubes of beef bullion, potatoes, celery and carrots. Drop 4 ground squirrels into the pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer until fur dissolves. French bread and a Mt. Dew and you`re set!

When a farmer asks you to shoot rockchucks, you happily oblige! @drstorms and I took out 70+ rockchucks over two days! My old Ruger M77 Varmint in .220 Swift, shooting the Hornady 55 grain factory ammo was on 🔥🔥🔥!

I dropped @drstorms at the top of a small valley, with the Remington Model 591 and a handful of @AguilaAmmo 5mm rimfire rounds. He worked his way down and was able to pop four rockchucks, collecting these three. The 30 grain SP going about 2450fps really put these guys down. A note to Aguila, it`s time for another run of 5mm Remington Rimfire Magnum ammo!

More .22 Jet goodness! This time, a Wyoming Prairie Dog fell to the 40 grain soft-point in the 40 year old Remington factory ammo. #ContenderCarbine

We are finishing up on the @CVAOfficial rifle chambered in the hotrod, .204 Ruger. This rifle is shooting lights out with the Hornady 32 grain VMax factory ammo! It was Dakota`s first time shooting a .204 and a CVA and was impressed by both! #204Ruger
