	Scheutzen seems easy to load for, compared to prairie dogs. ONE or TWO fixed ranges vs a continuum of distances with a slow moving high-arch bullet. Planning on taking SOMETHING Scheutzen on the annual prairie dog hunt (South Dakota) in a couple of weeks. Hmmmm. .405 Winchester (#1 and HW) or .30-06 in a HW. Top two contestants so far. Need a couple more range days to make the selection. .22LR is too expensive to shoot for prairie dogs.

	Doesn't seem to be any problem finding Tenex (at $0.50 per shot).
