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

Prairie Dog hunting in Wyoming! @CVAOFFICIAL rifle in .204 Ruger!
I`ve been testing three 55 grain varmint projectiles in the 20" .24 Varminter AR15. The @Sierra_Bullets Blitzkings are wicked fast! I also tested the Nosler Ballistic Tips and Varmageddons. The 55 grain BTs are loaded up and will be used on a prairie dog hunt, soon. Cache is testing some 70 grain options, while Pete is testing 80 and 87 grain options.

Some might think the .22 Jet cartridge is a bit light for rockchucks, but it is basically a light .22 Hornet. The Contender Carbine was on fire. A single ground squirrel in the morning, the rockchucks later in the day. The 40 grain factory ammo performed very well, except when I extended one shot out to 200 yards. The lightweight 40 grain bullet blew out some ribs and left plenty of blood, but the energy was too little to cause enough catastrophic damage. #22Jet

6.5 Grendel build, shooting the Hornady 100 grain ELD-VT factory ammo. This rockchuck was taken at 164 yards, with another small one taken at 222 yards. The bullet performed well, but the drop past 200 yards was extreme. Grouping was not up to par, either, due to high extreme spread and SD. @FoundingFathersArmory lower

I finally got a chance to shoot my new .22 Jet Contender Carbine today. It was very windy, but it shot very well. Seven shots to sight-in and shoot a quick group. Afterwards, I shot this ground squirrel at around 60 yards. The 40 grain factory ammo performed very well, even at 30+ years old. #22Jet

This factory Howa Super Deluxe Mini-Action in .22ARC is performing so well. Yesterday, I took this rockchuck at 427 yards using the Hornady factory 75 grain Match ammo. The first shot was high (dope was off slightly). Second shot thumped him through the chest. Exit wound was silver dollar sized with a chunk of kidney popped out. Tail wave was almost immediate. I will be testing four factory loads early next week and will wrap everything up soon for publication.
