Making progress
130gr Accubond
Good - if it sucked you'd be bending my ear to fix it
I think I have the Shiloh shooting well with a 420gr load, now I just need to learn how to shoot it.
Need to work up some .308 and .300 Blackout AR loads for the night fighters.

In thinking Im gonna make a stop In San Antonio on my down and see the Alamo. Is it worth it?
I think it is, if you like history and museums of that era. The thing I remember most about it was walking around the exterior walls, and seeing many thousands of little round indentations in the walls - the impact marks of musket balls. It's obvious a hard battle was fought there.

The Alamo is full of ghosts.

Good idea but I am only gonna have a few hours to kill. Thought the Alamo might be a quick stop. Always wanted to see it. Hell Birdy might want to take me on a bike ride and I aint built for bike riding anymore.

Doc,
If you need brass, bullets, dies, etc., let me know and I can bring them to the hunt. Had a 9.3x74 double a few years ago and unloaded it.

Ed, I'll be happy to take some of that load off your hands! Bring it along and we'll make a deal at the hunt!

I saved that pic so that I can be a strong reference and supporter of Bobby for when he competes for a white shirt promotion. Cops deal with A-Holes every day. The force needs officers who know how to deal with those A-Holes and how to train other officers in dealing with those A-Holes.
I suppose a pic really is worth a thousand words!

Joel, promise me you wont speak ill of the absent. Well maybe George and I, you can say anything you want about Bobby. Y'all better have a designated campfire poster while you're down there.
You have my word, friend. I'm definitely going to miss the laughs, though, so I'm sure we'll talk about Bobby.

He won't get to see a rematch between you and Joel, either.
