Q: What the @#$% did you shoot those varmints with?
A: Well, this varies. We use the following calibers in our 2 current titles: .17 HMR, .204 Ruger, .223, .22-250, .243 Ackley Improved, 7mm Rem. Mag, and someone came up with the bright idea to lug a .50 BMG out to the field in our second video.
The majority of kills in “PDBG!” come from the .223 and .22-250.
In “DBG&B!”, it’s mostly the .243 AI and .22-250 on Rock chucks and Ground Squirrels, and the .204 Ruger and .22-250 on Prairie Dogs. More important than caliber though, is the bullet design. Almost all of the varmints in both videos are hit with highly frangible bullets, such as the Hornady V-Max, or Sierra BlitzKing. This is what really causes the extreme reactions you see.
