you lucky dog! i have to wait till spring to go on a dog shoot. i dont have the luxury of takin a ar15 but i do get to take my 700 bdl my savage and a ruger mini 14 for closer range shots. also takin a 17 hmr and 22hornet. while my uncle brings his 2 223's a 243 and a 204 ruger. well see how the different guns use. do you know what he was usin for loads in the ar? for the mini 14 i bought a bunch of cheap wolf hp stuff and it shoots really well out to bout 150yrds
