Well he designed it top notch, It has served me well for a touch over 50 years. Not the most expensive rig I own, but one that will be with me till the very end.
@@cavedweller1959 If you are familiar with Herter's sales spiels in their catalogs from the '60's and '70's, you'll recognize their line of um... BS that could be found in virtually every item they sold in the catalog. I think GLH claimed to have invented most everything they sold. Some of it was actually quite good.
Awesome shooting. I just picked up a savage 340E in 222, it's got a nikon prostaff 3x9-40 scope on it. Tons of fun!! Someday I'd love to give dogging a try!!
Cave Man, you are fortunate to have access to towns full of the prairie dog rat. Please consider taking us to the next level and split screen shot us. Love the awesome vapor trail HD footage but would really like to see what you see through your optic....hold wise for wind & elevation. Thank you for your time and effort.
That takes a whole new batch of optics & equipment, with U-Ts demonetization of evil firearms channels, I really don,t see it happening. I do think it would be a whole new kind of fun if I could make it pay for itself.
When i was sixteen i had to sit out with a shot gun to shoot foxes then the head gamekeeper allowed me to buy a rifle but nothing bigger than a 222, just to learn with. Then i up gunned to a 22-250. I'm nearly 50 now and bought myself a brand new 222 sako and it's fantastic
Nice shooting. I’ve got my Grandfather’s Springfield/Savage 840 in .222 Remi, and I reload for it. Might have to try these bullets the next time I reload some. No prairie dogs around here, but it’s lethal on their groundhog cousins.
I have a Remington 700 in .222 mag but ammo is so hard to get a hold of and what’s out there is so expensive I can’t afford to be shooting like that , but what I have I’m saving for some deer shots
I have a 722 in triple duce. I have not shot anything but 50 grain sp. I am gonna have to pick up a box, and load. I'll see what I can come up with with 748, and 2230. Any primer you prefer?
Central South Dakota. But it could be ND, NE, MT, WY, UT, CO, KS. And that's just black tail P-Dawgs. Go south west of these areas and you have white tail dawgs.
I thought you only shot dogs as a favor to farmers/ranchers. This video looks like it was shot on public lands. Oops,just saw the cows. Guess it is on someone's land?
Herter's Hudson Bay Model Perfect 3 Point U9 rifle. Legend has it George H himself invented that rifle as no existing design met his rigid standards.

I enjoy your videos greatly. Wish I could train with you when I retire in 30 months...THANKS
Never gets old buddy. The air time at 1:41 is epic.
All I can say is SWEET!
One of my favorite vids! 222/45 Hornet = good dog medicine

Awesome. Triple 2. Thanks for the show.
The vapor trail and air time at 4:24 is epic.
Love your videos !!!!
Great video. My .222 is my favorite rifle.
Nice job...Nice round...Good results....Good stuff....

What O.A.L.. are loading to with the Hornady 45 Grain SP ?
Great video. Makes me anxious to get out my 222 and do some shootn!
Beautiful land good shooting

Excellent work, I really loved that last slo-mo double, epic!
Mine prefers 50 grainers. But we don't care. 222 is an awesome cartridge!
🖖🏻🇫🇷😎🇫🇷🤪🇫🇷🖖🏻
Wish i was there with You. Doing a little hunting!
Lol man looks like alot of fun
nice shooting,regards from the u.k.
Outstanding

Time to start reloading. 222 Mag is just one of dozens & dozens of rounds that will never again be readily available.
@@cavedweller1959 yea for sure need to find me some powders for them and primers I already have everything else but I’m very new at reloading
Are these prairie dogs or ground squirrels?
I live in Nunavut canada.
I love my. 222. Are the hornady hornet 45's similar to the 45gr Sierra Varminters?
Wow!!! First shot was awesome... Now lets see some tree rat hunting lol...

With ball powder, I always run a mag primer. Just work up your load the same way.
Nice double
Videos like these make me freakin' jealous as hell! Nice video, thanks. What state and area was this in if I may ask?
Central South Dakota. But it could be ND, NE, MT, WY, UT, CO, KS. And that's just black tail P-Dawgs. Go south west of these areas and you have white tail dawgs.
Where do you go when you go to snack doggies I'm in Iowa trying to plan a hunt thought about going to south eastern Wyoming .
Gee whiz, cavedweller, in what state are you? It’s breathtakingly beautiful there.
South Dakota, same as always. Thanks for Watching.
Do you sell 222's
Surprising number of kangaroodogs in SD ! Well...quite a few less now, I reckon. Well done.
What do you prefer, 22-250, 222, or 17hmr?
All of thee above, plus a few more. Have not found one yet that wasn't fun.
cavedweller1959 Lol, I know they're all fun, but which do you think shoots best for small animals at fairly longish ranges?
Jim F Gday mate I’m no expert and they are all good calibers but I would go with the 22-250 cheers Yogi Australia 🇦🇺🤙🤙
You son of a #$%^& I want to join you? can I? You're having too much fun without me!
good shooting.
