    Portable evap coolers

    I can probably make it work. I added a double breaker recent to run a 20amp circuit into my garage. It had almost no power outlets in the garage so I added 4 different receptacles around the garage to plug in real tools and be able to run my air compressor with tripping a breaker all the time. I think I have enough space left for one 230v connection. But I had planned to use that for a dedicated 50amp welder plug. So I will probably add another double breaker to run a 115v mini-split if I go that route.

    Portable evap coolers

    The biggest 115v mini-split I can get from Carrier is 1 Ton. that would be light on cooling for a 2 car garage in the summer, but I am sure it would help knock the nasty edge off if you need to work out there. I am looking at 1 of these for my house currently as I don't have a 208/230/1 breaker open in my panel. I do have room for 1 more 115V breaker though... If you have 208/230/1 you can go much larger. Carrier offers a 3 Ton high wall style system that is pretty reasonable. The thing to remember about a lot of mini-split systems is they are designed to be disposable. You can't just replace a condenser or fan coil if something craps out. You have to replace them as whole systems most of the time. They are very cost effective though. I work for a Carrier distributor which is why I know and talk about Carrier. Unfortunately I can't sell equipment direct to end users, but if you have a contractor or need a contractor to quote something for you, I can probably lead you in the right direction.

    Question for Auto Mechanics

    Get it to a good shop. Doesn't sound good though.

    12AE Logistics

    Hi Guys, I have not been to the north side of the great ditch since I was a kid. Now I have a hunt up there in October/Nov and I have a couple questions. 1. Do any of the game processors have a trailer up there for storage & processing? Do they do good work? I don't really want to have to drive back to forth to Flagstaff in the middle of the hunt if my buddy or I haven't tagged out at similar times. 2. Trailer/Campgrounds - I will probably have a 22' trailer with me to camp in. It looks like the campgrounds will be closed by then. Where is a good place to look at camping? 3. Does Jacobs Lake or any other nearby areas have diesel fuel? My main form of transpo will be my diesel pickup. 4. What else should I know? I am going to scout, but I would like to get some info before I head up.

    Gutsy...Can you find it.

    They did ok today. I am trying 2 different powders. I am going to take the best groups from today's results and try and dial a load in. I had a couple areas where groups were slightly better then MOA so I am hoping I can work it a little tighter.I was hoping this rifle would be a .5 MOA gun but that is probably a little optimistic. If I can get a load that is .75 moa consistently I will be happy. I cleaned all the rifles and used a copper solvent to remove copper fouling. I am hoping that might also helps a little.

    This little guy is guarding my gun cases...

    Yep. 2 minutes ago I just spotted some big lizard in the same area. He had to be at least 18-24" long. I watched him though the 15x binos for a couple min before he went back to the bushes.

    Gutsy...Can you find it.

    2-3 years ago I was at this same range right after a big monsoon rolled through. Everyone except me left and I was on the gun about to fire and 1 jogged across the range at about 90yds. I let him live too, but dang man. I was on the gun looking through the scope at him thinking. Today I am now the last guy on this range and have been sitting letting the rifles cool between shot strings and here comes this one. He was about 45 yards to the right in the brush, but I could have dumped him easy. The 300 win mag was on the bench ready to go.
  12. The left half of this target is my 300 win mag. Savage 110FP heavy barrel. My dad paid about $350 for it about 20 years ago. The only mods are a timney trigger and a muzzle brake. Several groups are pretty good.
  13. Weatherby Vanguard in .257 weatherby mag. 3x9x40 Redfield scope. This is with handloads. The picture of the steel target is at 500yds.

    7mm Berger 195 Eol

    Like said above, they called me to give me info on my 6.5x55 because it wasn't published, but they have emailed me info on 300 Win Mag, 3006, etc.

    Muzzle break 300 rum

    I have the big 5 port swabbed brake on mine. Axisworks put it on my 300 win mag and it was a HUGE help. http://www.piercisionrifles.com/slabbed-5-port-magnum-muscle-brake/

    300 win mag bullet options?

    The website still shows a 150gr SST. Personally with a 300 win mag I would go heavier. I personally am working on loads with 208gr ELD-M and 210gr Berger HVLD. I am working on a 150gr load with all copper TTSX from Barnes, but that was a bit of an accident. I bought them for a 3006 load but am using them in my 300 WM since I have them. If I bad done it on purpose I would have used at least 165gr or heavier.
  17. Is it a 20 cal or 17 cal?

    7mm Berger 195 Eol

    Email or call them and they will give you the info for free.
  19. The only 2 AR platform rifles that I want to own some day are 9mm and 7.62x39. Maybe a 10mm. I am interested to see where this is headed though.
  20. Somebody needs to buy this. .257 weatherby is a bad a round. This is a coues deer nightmare weapon. I have a 257 weatherby already otherwise I would have jumped on a gun like this.

    It depends on the barrel and brake probably. Call Eric

    Eric has done 2 muzzle brakes for me, and will be doing more in the future. Awesome dude and awesome work.

    7mm Berger 195 Eol

    I was looking at trying the Elite Hunters in my 6.5x55, but I read a lot of mixed reviews on them. More then other Berger products, and this rifle wasn't meant to be an extra long range rig so I am going to start working with the classic hunters for that rifle. If your gun will spit them well and you can stick them where it counts though I don't think you would have a lot of issue with 195gr bullet hitting something important. I bet it would die.
  24. Last time I hunted 19a with a cow tag was about 15 years ago, but we ran into a decent bull south of Cherry behind the campground.

    Winchester 25-20 Ammo

    As much as I don't like them because they price gouge, Legendary Guns in Phoenix probably has the ammo on the shelf.
