I have contemplated buying some for my 257 Weatherby just to get the cases but can't bring myself to pay even that much for ammo or cases. You can find brass for 300 Weatherby much cheaper because other companies make it. If you don't reload then these are a great round for practice and normal hunting. There are more options from other manufacturers though for 300 that might be similar price for better projectiles. I couldn't honestly tell you. Both my 300 & 257 Weatherby's have never shot a factory round or even a piece of factory Weatherby brass. I have a bunch of factory Remington brass for the 300 and I make the 257 brass from Remington 7mm mag cases. If you don't reload owning a Weatherby is a great reason to start. $3-4 a shot for factory ammo is crazy expensive. You can load basically the same thing for $0.80-$1.50 a round typically depending on calibler and bullet selection.

My wife and I both have a Keltec P32. She has arthritis in her wrist so the P3AT Keltec was to much for her wrist. A good buddy has the LCP and likes it too. I would love the SIG 938 in 9mm though, but the price is more than I can afford right now.

I have one also. It makes me look like a lot better shooter than I really am. If anyone is looking for a great shooting 22 this is it.

I am sorry I missed it. I showed up and watched the last guys go. It looked fun. We stayed and shot some at the main range and then at 200. It really dumped after you guys left. The little gully at the gate was was flowing hard. I hope to catch the next one. Harley

This guy just rebuilt the top end of my buddies 6.0l. He is very happy with the work and the price seemed very fair. https://m.facebook.com/DieselDermanatorLlc?refsrc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Furl&_rdr Or Pro Diesel is good too. Harley

I'm out. The babysitter cancelled so I have to take the dogs to the vet while my wife stays with our son. I am going to make it out to the range later in the day tomorrow for some practice after I am done with the vet visit.

Is this still going to happen with the fact that it is supposed to rain tonight and tomorrow?

This guy just rebuilt the top end of my buddies 6.0l power stroke. My buddy is very happy with the work and the price quote I saw seemed very reasonable. He had a cracked head, bad egr, etc. http://www.bbb.org/phoenix/business-reviews/auto-repair-and-service-diesel/diesel-dermanator-llc-in-glendale-az-1000029775/ I also know pro diesel does good work as well.

I RSVP'ed for this for myself and a buddy. I am working on getting my other 2 buddies from my hunt group to go too.

I make all my 257 Weatherby cases from 7mm Rem Mag or .264 Win Mag cases. You have to fire form the first load but it is much cheaper to make the brass then pay for Weatherby or anyone else. You don't have quite the case capacity but have not had any issues doing it and the cases are a little short but they work fine. I am getting about 5-8 loadings per case before the primer pockets get loose. I have shot both 100gr & 115gr and they both shoot well. My rifle seems to like the 115-117gr the best so I stick with those. I have only been able to try ranges out to about 500 yards but they fly well to that range and I would eventually like to try farther when I can. As far as presses I use an RCBS Rock Chucker and it has been great. It is not fast but if you do good batches it is productive and saves tons of money over factory. I have never fired a factory round through either of my Weatherby caliber rifles. I just with brass for the 257 was as easy and cheap to find as the 300 is/was.

We went out on Saturday of the last weekend of season. It was markedly slower then the previous weekend. We limited out the previous weekend but last weekend we could only muster 18 birds between 3 of us. They were all small out that way this season and also last season. Hopefully next year they will be a little more mature.

I will be shooting the 115gr Ballistic Tips or 117gr Hornady BTSP. My rifle really seems to like the hornady but shoots the ballistic tips well too. I shoot 257 weatherby but they aren't maxed out. They are about half way between a 25-06 & 257 weatherby maxed out.

The only other thing I can say about the hunt you are on is I would be looking to go pretty deep in the hills. They will have been hunted for over a month pretty much non-stop so they will be really skidish and hiding pretty hard. This year I am going to try and get a lot deeper and farther away from camp then I did last year. I am actually thinking about taking a long day hike that will require me and a buddy to be picked up by other hunters in our group miles from camp. Last years tactics didn't work so it is time to try something new. Harley

We hunted a November hunt there last year. It was pretty rough for buck sightings and the success data showed that. The hunt I was on last year had a 10% success. We are drawn down there again this year but in late October so I hope it will be better this time. The weather was great last year but I have been snowed on in 29 in the past on a later hunt. It was a nasty storm that didn't melt off and got worse. We got lucky and got out before it got too bad but it was 4-6" deep as we made our way out. We saw does, a bear, and a bunch of turkey there last year but nothing with horns. Good luck.

Balljoints and steering parts are a known issue on these trucks. The trackbar bushings are pretty easy to replace especially if you have a blow torch and are only $20. That fixed about 90% of my steering wander & issues. I am going to do the steering box brace as well though. As for buying a Ford, no thanks. I did just have to do $3000 worth of injectors in my Dodge but my buddy just did $5000 worth of work to replace the top half of his 6.0L Ford. I'll take a Dodge Cummins with a stick shift trans over any other diesel any day.

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.
