My buddy and I are planning on going.

Air conditioning is a good career that can make great money. You just have to be smart to manage your money for the slower months and be willing to work tons of hours during the summer. Good commercial techs can make very good money and good refrigeration techs can make better money. Residential A/C is a tougher game. Many of the companies want you to upsell or flat out swindle people to insentivise the money you make.

Something to check out would be if they have any .22LR in stock. When they opened the store down on Southern they had pallets of 22LR in stock and that was during the heart of the 22LR drought.

I have a Dillon electric that has served me well for a long time, and it's PO before that.

My dad and I have both carried his M1 Garand out hunting before as a bad weather or closer range kind of rifle. About 10 years ago I had a nice 4 point bull elk lined up in its sights on a 50 yard broadside shot, but I only had a cow elk tag in my pocket.

2 friends and myself went out this morning. We ended up limiting out after awhile. It started real slow and then heated up as it got warm out. All the birds were small again this year. I did get one of my buddies to go bird hunting for the first time and he enjoyed it. He didn't do bad for his first time with a shotgun for sure. We also jumped a couple bucks in the desert. A spike and a pretty decent 3x3. Now one of my buddies may be going archery hunting...

If you are a member you can shoot 300 or 500 at Phoenix rod and gun. I was shooting 300 out there last weekend. You block off access to other ranges at 300 and 500 so your are supposed to limit your time on those ranges outside of planned times. It is down by south mountain off 7th ave.

I shoot 20+ year old powder regularly that has been stored in garages the whole time with no problems.

Randall's had some on the shelf today. No bulk only 100 rd. Packs for $9-10 each pack.

This happened to a buddy on my hunt tag too. 3 of us got ours a week ago and he still didn't get his. He called Friday and they said they would mail a new tag.

I had mine in the garage for a few years with no issues. The only gun I had that any issues was an old .22 that has basically no blueing left. It surface rusted a little. If I had oiled it more often it would have been fine. It was only in the garage because I had no choice. My new house my safe has moved into the laundry room. It is not climate controlled, but it is between the garage and house so it sits in the middle as far as temps compared to house vs. ambient. I keep the vent fan on when the laundry is in to keep the humidity down. I also have silica packs in the safe that I rotate and a bottle that has water absorbent material in and has a 1 way film so water can enter but not leave. Ammo and powder are stored in the garage in the heat with no adverse effects. I have always had it that way and my dad did too. All the powder still performs well and even 100 year old military surplus ammo that has been in the garage for 20 years goes bang.

My most consistent load right now is 61.0gr of IMR4831 with the bullet seated as far out as I can. I am using fire formed .264 Win Mag & 7MM Mag brass so my case capacity is a little lower then a real 257 case though. I am shooting a 24" Vanguard. My rifles favorite bullet sofar is Hornady 117gr BTSP. It shoots ballistic tips well too but the Hornady is the best so far.

I have been using IMR4831 with pretty good success with my 115 gr. loads. I know H1000, RL25, and RL22 are popular too.

I have seen marginal success out near Wickenburg myself the last few years. The only thing that was guaranteed last year was mosquito bites. Opening weekend we were driven away by the mosquito's and mud. We went back the next weekend with tons of bug repellent and mosquito head nets and had to do some mud bogging to get to a decent spot and still didn't limit out.

My wife's appendix surgery 5 years ago cost more then that I believe. I want to say hers was $42,000 or something stupid. We didn't even stay in the hospital overnight. She went in at 5am and was released at about 7pm.

This. My dad got his there about 15 years ago and it is still awesome. The only thing that sucks is moving that 1000 lb. monster. I think I have moved it 3 times now.

They told me about 10 days til they show up in the mail

A friend of mine almost lost his leg from a spider bite that got staph a few years ago. He spent the better part of a week in the hospital and was literally about 30 minutes from losing his leg from above the knee down. Scary stuff. Glad you are ok.

My group drew late October in 29. It was 3rd choice. This will be 2 years in a row in 29. Hopefully this year will be better then last year. We saw almost everything except a buck deer.

You work across the street from me.

Another vote Payson.

6.5/300 weatherby 6.5x06

I saw some at Randall's today along with some of the Reloader powders.

I got to see a pink and black one about 10 years ago off table Mesa road when I was out four wheeling. It was pretty cool to see one in the wild.

Bump to the top. $475.00 shipped.
