Weatherby Vanguard in 257 Weatherby mag. It shoots .5 MOA with 115gr. Berger VLDs.

I will send you a pm.

BILSTEIN 5100'S

I will take them. I am in Peoria.

My Choices: Dodge Ford Chevy In that order.

If that is unit 7E and you mind sharing the location of those cow elk let me know! I have a December cow tag in 7 east.

+2 for Randy's in Mesa. He has built some pretty stout diesel transmissions for my buddies Dodges in the past. He has built a bunch of my rockcrawler buddies transmission for there rockcrawlers too.

State to State on Bell Road if Bill is still running the joint.

I didn't go there to by 22lr. I went there for other stuff and looked to see if they had any. I needed to get my bird stamp and get my 3 year old out of the house for a little while to burn off some steam.

No orange for me.

They had none last night.

You have to try different powder, different bullets and weights, different seating depth, etc. My 257 weatherby did ok with 115gr nosler ballistic tips and speer sp's, but it really likes berger VLDs and hornady btsp's. It likes I'm 4831 at 61.0gr and H1000 at 67.0gr. Keep working and find what it likes. The Bergers over H1000 will group 1/2" at 100yrds. The hornady over 4831 will do 3/4" ar 100. The other bullets were lucky to do 1" at 100.

I love my series 1 vanguard in 257. 115gr Bergers shoot really well in mine. It also like hornady 117gr. Btsp. Imr4831 and h1000 are the powders of choice for mine. Harley

I always carry a sidearm no matter where I am hunting or what I am hunting. Down south I have been known to carry quite a bit of extra ammo and sometimes even a 2nd sidearm. Harley

I carry a full rifle, and a sidearm. Typically it is my 38 super in a shoulder holster with 2 mags under the other arm. I care 1 extra round for the rifle in every pocket so I have a few easy to get to rounds, but that won't clank with other rounds, and I keep a 10 rd belt carrier in my small backpack with extra rifle rounds and a 12rd pistol round carrier in there as well. If I am down south or a questionable area I might put some extra in too. Better to have an extra pound or two of ammo and not need it then not have it and need it.

Shoot it. I plan to take my 257 Weatherby with 115gr Berger's for cow elk this year. Hit them where it matters and that is what matters.

I have a dillon that has served me well.

I love my grizzly so far.

My wife has arthritis is here right wrist and her 38 j frame has to much pop to shoot any more. We are starting to look for a 2" 22mag j frame for her. If anyone has one they would part with let me know. Hammered or shrouded hammer only please. PM me if you might have something. Thanks Harley

Wow, glad your dog is ok. That's some scary stuff. A good friend of mine lives out in Whittman on an acre and has had his boxer bit by a rattler and most likely stung by a scorpion. He ended up rushing to the EM vet twice in about a year and a half and that is never cheap. Good thing for your dog and his that you are good pet owners.

I know Randalls has a ton of orders in with suppliers and they are all backordered. They are always just getting pieces of some backorder in as there stock from what Harlan was telling me. He said the UPS guy is like Santa because you never know what part of what backorder is showing up when he pulls up. Sportsman's is prob better organized then that because they have alot more buying power and computer based corporate ordering, but I am sure there are some standing backorder issues with everyone.

I don't sell guns or tools, that is my rule. I did sell a couple of both when I was out of work once but they were things I didn't have a connection to really and I knew I would replace them with something better that I actually wanted when times were better.I had duplicates of the tools and other guns that would do the same job as what I parted with. A Walmart special Rem. 700 in 3006 and a shotgun. That was over 5 years ago and I don't have regrets. That said I prob won't part with many more in the rest of my years. Harley

This is clearly what is happening.. friends (employees) holding for friends He said they don't really hold much back other then what they keep to sell with a gun. He said they will keep a little back so employees can get some when a shipment comes in. He just tells me when. They get some in so I can give him some cash if I have any. Dick's doesn't give discounts on ammo or guns to employees which I thought sucks so I pay full price, I just have a better knowledge of when they have 22. Sportsman's situation sounds shady though. A pallet could see holding back if that was a sale item on the next weeks sale and they were instructed not to put it out. 3+ different kinds in quantity is just rude.

A guy I work with works weekends at Dick's and let's me know when they get some in. I give him money when I have some and he picks it up for me. Randalls had some fairly regularly too so I grab some there when I see it.

Hoarders is what is going on out here.
