I hunt prairie dogs alot and have 4 rifles. Three 22-250s and a 223. If you hunt prairie dogs you are going to shoot lots of ammo. Generally I carry about 3,000 rounds with me on a hunt.

The 223 is the best choice because they are the most economical to shoot. The 22-250 is an excellent choice but much more expensive to shoot. Brass is high and it takes about 10 gr more powder for a charge. I can get 259 rounds per pound of powder for a 223 and 200 per pound for the 22-250.
