20's are where its at for p/dogs....3900 fps with a 40 V max...fuggin laser

Winding down now in my later years....have a 222 Mag to break in this spring

These all set up break the scales at 18# when on the portable table...less recoil......(:

When you 'dust dogs' @ 600 you know your loads & rifle set is working

Crazy...600 yds...shoot..watch the dog do a 180...feel the pat of the recoil...

this pic.......targets start at 485 yds....223 AI...53 V Max

Longest kill ? You wouldn't believe me....260 AI w.142 SMK's

Lets hear the longest kill, I will believe. Mine is 960 yds on a p-dog in 12mph wind. However, I can't say its confirmed kill as I knocked him down, but he made it back down the hole. But hell I'm counting it!
