Let’s see your pup

Dogs truly are the greatest.
Here’s Pocky. She’s a staffy X who knows what.
Loves to play, cuddle and eat :)

Hurts like hell every time we lose one. We lost two between last November and this January. Both lived long, wonderful lives and were loved. I've had people say "I'm not getting another dog because I cannot handle losing them" - I'm the opposite.. I cannot see going thru life without them!
Exactly! It does hurt like hell but the 13-14-15 years you get of that amazing unconditional love and ever present companion is worth it!

Ellie, our current lab…our 3rd. And a great pet and huntress!

I also have an Ellie. Actually, her official name is Spinelle (predecessors were Pearl and Opal). Six Labs in sixty years. Why anyone would buy any other breed is a mystery to me. The ranch family that owns the property where I'm hunting now is on their first Lab. What a sweet dog. The missus asked me the other day what book she should get to train him for bird hunting. I laughed. "The same book I use: no book! Labs come ready to hunt right out of the chute." Over the years I have seen a couple in the field wearing electronics. Just a decoration. Owners showing off their newest digital toys.

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

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...
