One of the things that I appreciate about my furry buddies is that they are all individuals with their own personalities, and a heck of a lot of fun.

Most of the time my gsp's have been very softmouthed on game and absolutely death on toys, most dying a quick and noble death in just minutes.

The .17-460 eargaspliten loudenboomer was pretty bad on barrels and brass. A fire forming load and a full pressure load then start over with more new brass. And since I am a slow learner we did the next toy with .505 Gibbs brass necked to 17 caliber, great fun but barrel life was under 500...

The above sounds like a fine start, with a rapid progression to drawing and quartering.

What the hey when my German Shorthair #13 goes with me he rides in the cad with the heater or air conditioning, no way is he riding out in the weather when he worked **** hard for us.

The .500 Bushwhacker for me.

IMO you just can't beat a good Winchester model 12 for reliability, ease of operation and plain speed. And with no trigger disconnecter just hold it back and pump away.

I'm working 14-17 hour days 6 days a week to keep up, in fact we don't have anyone doing less than a 10 hour day. Work when it's available, there's been too many times in the past when work wasn't available.

Just think about the propellant to payload ratio and compare that to say a .22/378 at about 2.5 to 1 and a 50 grain slug tops out at around 6,000 fps. The laws of diminishing returns still apply.

Just remember that if you are willing to hike into some place that there's others that think the same.

The .22 short works perfectly for me, I just pop one round in my hunting partners foot then even a fat old man is easily fast enough. Just out of curiosity how long does it take for a Grizzly to eat a people?

Yes like my old mag 10 with the 20" deer barrel.

I put a couple of cleaning patches inside the tip to stop that problem.

I am so envoyous.

Just a guess but since he said that he was new to rifle hunting I figure that reloading would also be pretty new to him also. And nothing wrong with that since we all were in his place once.
