I stood on the yellow footprints at Parris Island.

The next 4 years were the most formative of my life.

I will always be grateful for the opportunity and privilege of serving my country as a United States Marine.

Semper Fi to all Marines, my brothers!

Thanks for your service Tim!
 
God bless our military. Past, present, and future.
 
Appreciate your service Tim. (y)

You have my sincere thanks.
 
Thank you for your service my friend!
 
I always get really nostalgic this time of year.

Just glad I was given the opportunity to serve...would do it again in a minute.

The things that make America great are worth defending. Now I just try to defend those things at the ballot box.
 
Thank you sir.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.

Have twice tried to post something that your site canned as "SPAM" or some problem.. "Contact the Administrator"... Not sure why even the "Contact" button would not send my comment so you only received my query but not the content in question. I'll see if I can get it to you this way... NOPE I use a VPN and perhaps that is causing me grief...
