So I was able to pick up my wife's ruger American predator right before Christmas. All my reloading goodies should be here in the next day or two. Just looking for a starting point. Looking to do some ladder tests this weekend.Thanks

Thanks, lots of good responses. I've lived rural before coming to AZ. I grew up in NM between Belen and Mountainair. I never have gotten used to houses not being separated by less then a 3/4 mile. My wife was born and raised in Mesa. All the kids have been in the same school since kindergarten. That's why we gotta wait a few more years. I know they have a better shot at a scholarship here then in a more rural school district. My wife's parents live in Alpine and we have kicked that around, but its just a little too far from the convenience my wife likes, and the airports. I have thought about the Midwest and further east due to a lower cost of living. The problems for me is I need to be around mountains, and further east is just overpopulated. With all my miles from flying I think we need to take a few trips and see the lay of the land in a few areas. Boise area with an airport close by, northern Idaho with an airport in Spokane, and what I really want to check out is around Kalispell Montana. They have an airport that looks like it would work. I think a two hour drive to an airport would be about as far out as I want to go.

ouch.

We need jobs, and we need to source American materials, but this sucks.

Anyways........back to football, did you hear the rumor that the NFL is trying to make the Raiders sign kapernack for them making a joke of the NFL's stupid affirmative action rules?

Cuz they cheat(and get caught more than most teams) and they are too good.

As a Dallas fan I hate to have to want the eagles to win. But I hate the patriots enough to.

Some hometown officiating for the pats and it looks like the Vikings forgot there was a football game today. Gonna be another year I have no reason to watch the super bowl.

Road kill?

He was avoiding a pass interference call. Best game this season.

They should be able to overwhelm the overrated Saints. Just as long as the officiating crew from last nights game doesnt show up.

We already pay a fee for access to lands. Its called TAXES. This needs to get shut down.

Go with a Grundfos. We have had some headaches with Goulds warrantying bad pumps.

Bump. I forgot this was still here.

Thanks.

So i am having an issue locating a modified case for 6.5. I have some new brass ready to load, and a box im going to shoot just to get the rifle sighted in. I was going to just make my own as i have the tolls to do it. Should i use a new unfired case, or a once fired?

Keep wifey happy and get an extra battery.

So i was down at sportsmans yesterday finishing up ome shopping, and that included a rifle. After waiting what seemed longer then usual, my background check came back delayed. Dude at the counter said they would call me in three days to come pick it up. Never had this happen to me. The only thing i can think of is Im undergoing another background check for TSA for precheck. This ever happen to anyone? Hopefuly this gets cleared up soon so i can get all the goodies wrapped and under the tree in time.

Got mine.

Anybody ever try it with Elk?

It came out ok. No complaints from anyone. No leftovers. A little soggy at the bottom. I think I will use beef next time tho. Save the elk for the grill.

I never do. Pacifico and ladders dont mix.

I bring a shower curtain. Put the quarters on it and go to work. Shower curtain is light weight and cheap enough to throw out when you get home. I just keep backstrsps and tenderloin separate.

I'm going to do one elk and one pork for Christmas when I'll have a full house. I'm going to do a practice run for thanksgiving since nobody likes turkey. If it turns out good I'll post up a recipe.

that's why I always go with paper apps. Too much can go wrong.
