AZ Southpaw

I have a VERY picky gunsmith who deals quite a bit in custom and high-end firearms. He calls these old Rugers Energizer bunnies - they just keep going, and going, and going!! Bump for a real workhorse.

Cool...how does it shoot?

PM sent.

I am looking for Federal 210 primers and have powder and 308 ammo to trade. All powders have been opened but most weigh-in at 1 lb. A couple have been used to test just a recipe or two. I'd be happy negotiate a few bucks to you or a few bucks to me depending on the trade. Please shoot me a note if interested. Thanks! I have the following powders: - IMR7828 SSC - RL 17 - Ramshot Big Game - Alliant 2400 - H 380 - Alliant Sport Pistol - H414 Ammo: I also have two (2) 20-round boxes of Fiocchi .308 Win. - 150gr FMJ

No, loading for mostly bolts and have some recipes that call for the Federal 210s. Thanks though!

I may be able to help you out - depending on what you want. Please shoot me a message if interested. Thx.

As far as fit goes, this is probably my favorite Glock to-date! I already have a smaller Glock and a bigger Glock, so my wallet is glad I saw this a little too late!

Well done...thanks for sharing!

Simply outstanding!

I have the 4064 you're looking for. I'll trade for the H4831. Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss. Thanks.

Looking for 160gr 7mm Nosler Accubonds to purchase, or have the following items to trade: Trade: - 22/250 new brass - 22/250 factory ammo - 220 Swift 1x fired brass - 308 Win. factory ammo - 45 ACP factory ammo - Have pistol and rifle powder as well; let me know what you might need Thanks!

Not to over-simplify things, but with today's DSLRs, they will all take fantastic pictures as long as you do your part. The lens is more important, but for the average person taking pictures in good light, even the average 'kit" lens will take great pics. And the old cliche is true - it's not what's in front of your camera that creates a great shot, it's what directly behind it. When it comes to the camera body, more money does typically get you a better sensor, but you're really paying for features too. I shoot a Nikon D750 and D610. My main gig is portrait photography, but I enjoy every type of photography including wildlife. I even won a spot in the AZ G&F wildlife calendar a few years back. Not trying to brag, but making a point. A Nikon D3000 would have gotten the same shot as the D610 I used and at a fraction of the price. I have a 70-200 2.8 lens that costs a bunch and would have been fabulous in this situation, but when I was trying to sneak up on a small heard of elk and one of the critters walked up to within 30 yards of me and bed down in decent light, my 70-300 at 1/3 the price got the shot. But, when it comes to camera settings like changing shutter speed, aperture and ISO etc., you might have to go into menus to make some changes with a lesser model camera. With my cameras, I spin wheels without even looking and I'm there, and in a matter of a second or two. When I'm getting paid to shoot an event or a portrait session, that's what I need. Or, if I'm shooting for fun and a deer in the shadows suddenly busts out into the open sunlight, I'm making those changes right now and firing away. Plus, my full frame bodies are a little better in low-light, which I often need for events or at twilight when the animals start to move around. In a nutshell, I'll give you the advice a pro gave me many moons ago. Based on the kind of images you want to capture - figure out what features you want, then figure out how many you can afford. Once you have a list of those cameras, you have to go to a shop and put those bodies in your hands. The one that feels best - that's the one! When it comes to lenses - well, that's a whole other conversation all together!!

I have 7 boxes of Remington Golden Sabre High Performance ammo for the .40 S&W. Four boxes are 165gr - three boxes are 180gr. Can arrange for pick up in Tempe or Gilbert, AZ area. $20 each.

I vote for the .308 Win., though I would not hesitate to hunt anything in AZ with my .243 either. I've carried everything from the .223 to 375 H&H, and have bought and sold a lot of rifles in between, but thought if for whatever reason I had to let everything go and just set up one rifle to hunt it all, the .308 might get the call.

Lots of good load advice given here! I dreamed of the 25/06 back when Bob Milek used to write so fondly of it. I've had two - and two absolutely tack-driving rigs too. Let both slip away. I would add that the slow burning powders mentioned are all fine, but don't ignore the middle powders either. If the slow burners don't get you exactly what you want, H4350 or IMR 4350 will do dandy things in the '06, and will fly plenty fast enough too. IA Born - sounds like maybe you have a sick rifle. Has your gunsmith checked everything out for you? Is it by chance a Remington CDL?
