Fun In The Sun...Dogging With SP's

Post by Ernie »

Glenn and I went yesterday to check out a dog town we just got access to a couple of weeks ago.
Sun was out, the wind was fairly low, and the dogs were high in number.
Glenn said we easily took over 100 pd's, but that is not something I typically think about.
Glenn brought his center-grip 6GT (He made the stock and bedded it himself) XP, with the 109 ELD-M's), 22 Creed XP (88grain ELD-M), and his rear grip 223 Rem (Made the stock and bedded that one too), using the 77 grain Sierra Tipped MatchKing.
I shot my center grip Borden/Alpine XP in 6GT with 109 ELD-M's, and my center grip XP in 223AI with 75 grain A-Max's.
I did all of my shooting with the 6GT off of my tripod, and killed 12 dogs with out to under 300 yards, then 223AI did the majority of the work for me.
I got several doubles (one was over 300 yards), and I know Glenn got one double.
Longest kill was right at 567 yards...75 grain A-Max did good!
Here are some pics and vids for your enjoyment.
It was a GOOD DAY!

This is what Glenn's 223 Rem rear grip looks like-From last year when his grandson was shooting it.

I called Glenn "Dan" in the video. Dan wasn't with us...They say the memory is the first to go...

Great stuff Ernie. Was out there in SD last week doggin with my usual crew of misfits. Wind wasn’t terrible and I was able to stay on my 204 for 3 days. We always hunt tribal but have a great guide for the last 15 years. As much fun as an old guy can have with his clothes on!

For a few minutes got a touch of nostalgia for Linefinder’s old P-Dog shooting threads. Thanks for sharing and thanks for the memories.

Sounds like a great tradition!

You are most welcome.
I really enjoy shooting pd's.
I also got some practice in shooting off of my tripod as well.
I started with the tripod, as I will be spending more time shooting off of it, getting ready for SA.
