Gun Tweet of the Day: “Outdoor writer and TV personality J. Guthrie with a Wyoming prairie dog taken at 789 yds with Hornady 338 Lapua…”

Shooting a prairie dog with a Savage rifle equipped with a Nightforce NXS 5.5-22×50 scope firing Hornady 338 Lapua 250 gr BTHP cartridge is the dictionary definition of overkill—even at 789 yards. That is a seriously large bullet. So why, you ask, is that dog intact? Hornady’s Facebook page: “The bullet clipped the top of the prairie dogs neck. We rolled him over for the photo.”
