if you are going prairie dog hunting/shooting (the actual prairie dog) up in Montana or the Dakotas' for example... I recommend going with something bigger than that as you will be needing to shoot further than 150 or 200 yards after a few rounds have been sent down range. They get a little skittish after a few of there buddies disappear... Additionally the wind in those areas can be a norm of 15-20 mph... So, think about going to the .223 or 22-250. If you go that route, you will also be able to rebarrel it after you burn up the original one. I use a 22-250 where I am, but our prairie dogs a actually belding ground squirrels (AKA SageRat). I've shot over 300 rounds in one afternoon of shooting... one can go through a barrel pretty darn quick. just my suggestion...
the muzzle brake won't give you any added velocity. It only reduces your recoil.
