I have a Champion safe that I really like. We had a break in a few years back and the thieves tried to pry the door open and tried to pry up the safe too! Have it anchored very well…they didn’t mess with it much and moved on to other things. It has a few small paint chips from whatever they used but that’s no big deal to me. It did it’s job!

Have 2 unopened 1 pound containers and one opened for sale. Would like $37 each (I paid $36.98 per pound including tax) for the 2 unopened and $15 for the opened container (used about 1/3 pound). In Phoenix near 75th Ave & Broadway.

All powder is sold.

Just my thoughts…If I were you I would think about upgrading my binoculars. Spotting scope is a luxury in my opinion. Great binoculars are what is really needed.

Ever get to Phoenix?

What is your location?

What he said ^. Lots of different “K” frames, nickel, stainless, blued,if you are talking blued model 19, look at the above site , they list a 2-1/2” barrel as in stock . Part number 307080 for $158.76

The wife and I drew 36B Coues tags for the first hunt in October. I am hoping to find someone within reasonable distance that has room for my tent trailer for a week before the hunt and a day or two after the hunt. I would rather compensate a fellow member than a storage facility. I usually set up camp near Arivaca.

Thanks to a forum member we have a spot in Arivaca to store the tent trailer. Can’t wait to go hunting!

Edge shot that rifle good too! As a follow up…I got some H4198 powder from Lance awhile back (thanks Lance) and finally got to try it out in in my Marlin 1895 CB yesterday. Loaded 27 grains of H4198 under a 405 grain cast lead bullet for an average of 1,218 FPS. Soft recoil that I was hoping for so anyone can shoot the rifle.

Any interest at $5?

Box of 50 unfired primed cases. Given to me years ago, forgot about years ago too! Nice when you don’t want to mess with moon clips. Will trade for small pistol primers or sell for $10, near 75th Ave and Broadway.

Size 9D Browning snake boots, free to first reply on forum. Near 75th Ave and Broadway. I wore these boots one time nearly 40 year’s ago. They are actually in better condition than they look in the side view as evidenced by the picture of the heel and sole.

This is what I do for WOOD stocks. I am sure there are many ways to bed but this is simple and has always worked for me. Need to evaluate how the stock fits as is. You will need to open up the recoil lug recess, pretty simple to do. You most likely will need to remove material if the inlet is a tight fit. If the stock fits with good barrel gap to start life is good. If the stock does not have pillars you will leave an original point of contact at the front and rear of the action. If the stock has pillars only the pillars should contact the action. I bed the entire length of the receiver. I would also bed a portion of the barrel, 1” to half the chamber length at most. This is with or with out pillars. You can use your action screws just coat them with a release agent, turtle wax will work in a pinch but do minimum of two coats. You are going to coat the action and barrel anyway. You will need bedding or modeling clay to pack the action and anything that the bedding compound can get into. Some guys torque the screws some don’t. I don’t, they are just a guide to seat the action for me. If you use the screws to seat the action you just need to tighten enough to either touch the pillars or contact points. You don’t need or want a lot of pressure. If you don’t want to use the screws to seat the action you can use surgical tubing wrapped around the action. You can use some electrical tape on the barrel to keep it centered. There is more to it but this is getting long. Picture below of bedding before cleaning up. This is an HS Precision stock with aluminum bedding block. Getting the action off that block and fully supported did wonders.

Ruger M77 .308 bought used from the Mini Gun Shop in Mesa around 1983. Shot my first deer with that rifle. Had that and a 70 series Colt Government on layaway at the same time. Still have them both. Had a good friend that was an marine sniper who also shot Combat matches that was a big influence on my gun buying decisions back then.

Free pair of Mason Boots. I think they are size 9-1/2 D but seem a little narrow. I am size 10 D and can slip in but feel tight across the front. Mason Shoe made some great stuff back in the day. Near Broadway and 75th Ave.

They are yours!

I’ll take both pounds.

I can’t help with your data but for many years W748 was my go to powder for .308, I have switched to Varget and have no reason to try anything else. Very uniform velocity and very accurate in my rifle.

The wife said I told her it was ok to pitch the targets and notes for the 45-70 from that outing so I can’t give you the exact numbers but believe I started at 14 grains of Unique under a 405 grain cast bullet. Data showed velocity around 1,200 FPS and I got around 1,500 FPS on the new to me lab radar on the first shot. Recoil was pretty mild and case/primer were perfect, thought I messed up on setting up the new unit so touched off another one and the velocity was very close to to the first. Time to find a more appropriate powder.

Yeah the velocity was way more than expected.

I don’t have my notes with me but let me say I had a WTF moment. Twice!
