50gn-55gn soft points on Prairie Dogs?

[Tall Shadow]

I'm planing a trip to S.D. early this summer to do a little Prairie dog shooting, but I'm having trouble finding the bullets to do so.

I was hoping to use 50gn-55gn v-max's for the loads, but I either (A.) Can't find them in stock (I need 2,5k-3k) or (B.) If I do find them, they are $$$$.

I'm open to alternatives, and have been looking at the "House Brands" from Midway and Midsouth...but they are soft points....Will these bullets work well on prairie dogs in a .223 & a 22-250???

Thanks!
