Hello Fellas,
I just booked my 1st Prarie Dog shoot with 10 gauge outfitters Kansas for May '12. Very excited!

Here's my question...

I am going to take several rifles, but my primary rifle will be a M12 VLP in 204 Ruger (I am thinking Federal 39gr Blitz Kings) so I am wondering how much ammo to bring for it. I am told that I can expect to shoot all day long, so I am wondering how long can I shoot this rifle until it becomes too hot and needs to cool down. I will then switch guns, but I am trying to figure how long I can expect to shoot the 204 with constant aimed fire. This will give me an idea what to expect and how much ammo to bring for it.

I will also bring a scoped AR-15 which I have tons of ammo for, my 7mm Rem Mag, and a 17HMR.

Any advice/tips you can give a 1st time PD shooter would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Frank
