i got my first dog of the season saturday morning. went out and only seen one dog all morning. lots of deer out nice cold morning, but only one dog and shot it at 50-60 yards broadside. my .22-250 shooting 52 grain speer hollow points are nasty they blew a hole the size of a fist out of the dog meat hair and all. i hate to have to tame the load down. i can shoot one hole groups at 100 every time.
