The loads I am working on with Berger bullets are using Lapua brass. My copper bullet loads are using Winchester brass because I have alot of it, and not enough Lapua brass to go around yet. I have another round of loads worked up with 120gr GMX bullets, and another using 135gr Berger Classic Hunters. Next weekend will be range time.

I have seen lope in 7E as far south as saddle mountain, and as far north as headed into the flats north of Missouri bill hill.

I originally put a timney factory set at 3lbs in my 257 weatherby, and it was the lightest trigger I had used. It was awesome. Now I have a timney in my 300 mag set at 1.5-2lb. I have set triggers on a couple cz rifles that at probably 1lb or less. When you set the trigger on my 7.62x39 CZ, you dont even think about reaching for the trigger until you are 100% ready to shoot. You will set it off way before you think you should. I shoot that 3lb trigger now, and i keep squeezing wondering if it will ever go off. It feels heavy. It is a rabbit hole be careful....

When you bring a deer in for check, what condition does the carcass need to be in, of what do you have to show proof of?

I have a lion tag in my pocket every year now. It is my defense to ward off lion encounters.

I have seen a few labradar units at the range lately. They look like a good option but are not cheap. Bruno's had one on the shelf a few weeks ago when I was there.

Both.

I sanded the barrel channel this afternoon after I finished a bunch of house stuff. When I pulled the stock off it had some high spots in it near the base of the barrel, and a high spot where the sling stud started to come through the stock. I sanded all those as well as the left side of the barrel channel that seemed to be much tighter to the barrel than the right. We will see if it helps next time I am at the range. Thanks for the help. I might also have this thing bedded to see if that helps.

Wickenburg sucked this year. I thought it would though based on the poor water over the winter. I think it is time to find a new spot. Anybody with any ideas for a west or north area please let me know.

Congratulations Lance. That is a nice one. Good story as always.

Different bullets do different things for sure. I found out this weekend that 120gr Hornady GMX in 6.5x55 cause higher pressure then 127gr Barnes LRX bullets with the same weight of powder. The 127gr at 45gr of H4350 were showing slight pressure signs. The 120gr GMX blew out primers at the same weight. The weird part was 44gr has slight pressure signs. 45gr made the primer popped.

Are the cases with pressure problems always Nosler? I have a Savage in 300 Win Mag that started showing pressure signs earlier then I expected with brand new Nosler brass shooting 208gr ELD-M bullet. It isn't extreme, but it was a fair amount lower then the "book max" load.

Much want, no need. Good luck with the sale.

I have picked up a couple 1lb cans there occasionally over the last couple months.

In some units you are allowed to access certain areas by motor vehicle if you have an elk down, that you are not allowed to take the vehicle if the road is closed.

Also, just for fun at the end of the day I did a 5 shot string at 200 yard with factory 155gr ammo. Round 1&2 grouped close, the round 3 dropped about 2" lower and 1" right and rounds 4&5 grouped right in there with #3. It is pretty frustrating.

I am looking to buy a day or two for 2 people too, preferably at a west Phoenix dairy if anyone has some passes.

This is the battle offroaders and others have been facing in 20B and other area's north of Phoenix for years now. They basically propose to close tons of roads and make people argue with them and raise support to show they should leave some of them open. It sucks. If you use these roads you better band together with whatever local groups are willing to fight with you to keep stuff open. The problem with the TMP's that were proposed near Table Mesa Rd & Bumble Bee were that the sides wouldn't stand together. They were in fighting because they didn't want the others to have access because they didn't like offroaders, or shooters, etc. Get hunters, equestrian, dirt bikers, offroaders, shooters, etc to all stand with each other to help keep things open.

Flinching? I know I would be unless that beast had a BIG brake on it.

It will be a good hunt, but can be very tough and cold. Try and get away from roads and get down near some of the canyons to glass. Get up there a couple weeks before your hunt and scout. If the weather has gotten nasty and cold the transition area might be good.

Archery headquarters in Chandler stocks flatline. I bought one recently.

I am a commercial salesman for a large local HVAC distribution company. Their are 2 main problems with residential HVAC. 1. Tech schools are not teaching techs to be skilled at diagnostics they way they used to I don't believe. They are pushing them through school as fast as they can and just teaching them to be parts changers. They are not teaching them to master skills they should have. 2. Alot of companies, especially the larger ones, have gone to paying techs mostly or completely on commission. This means the more crap they can sell you the more money they make. Some companies pay a tech little or nothing for a warranty repair like a capacitor or contractor, so they have to find something to sell or do that is not under warranty so they make money for a service call. Questionable business practices have helped force alot of techs to do questionable things, and make questionable recommendations. They have to give in to the pressure of doing questionable things or if they dont produce enough income for the company they get fired. The commercial sector isn't as riddled with bad business practices, but they do still exist. ................ As for wholesalers causing the problem in the market that is not nearly the problem that the contractors cause. We follow the laws set by the government for refrigerant and efficiency standards. Our margins on new equipment is pretty thin to be honest. The contractors often make quite a bit higher margin then we do on our own equipment. Factory parts do have a larger markup but part of that markup is for easy installation of direct swap parts, and to cover man hours for warranty claims (valid and fraudulent). Generic parts are low margin items. If techs knew more (back to the schooling issue above) techs could use a lot more generic parts and save people money. They often want to sell the higher price part that is easier to install though.

Here is a couple hints. Don't ever call any company you have seen commercials for, heard on the radio, or seen billboards for unless you like giving away extra cash to strangers for no reason. The AC business, especially on the residential side has ALOT of scummy people and companies. If you want to buy your own AC parts don't use Grainger unless you like paying 40% extra to be able to get it right away. Don't buy off brand no name air conditioning units.

Is this a split system or a package unit?
