My dad shot this one Saturday with his Savage 65M, .22 magnum. It is the largest groundhog either of us has ever seen.
About 10 minutes later I shot this one at 100 yards with my CZ 550 .22-250. 50 grain Sierra Blitz Kings over 39 grains of H380. These things pretty much obliterate groundhogs. I have shot 4 with this load now. Two of them are already in this thread http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=653923&highlight=cz+550, the first has no head left, the second has the "canoe effect", the third I didn't get a picture of, but I hit it in the underarm. It was a big hog and there was no exit, but I could feel its insides were jelly.
This last one was a medium sized groundhog, and it has basically no head left.
