Keep it dry and you are gonna be fine for awhile. I have winchester powder in the old round cardboard cylinders that is fine and has spent many years in the heat. That said I would prefer to keep it inside, but if that isn't an option keep it as cool as you can and dry.

A friend of ours is an ER nurse. She said if you go on a ventilator you have about an 8% chance of survival. She is also wanting things to reopen though so she isn't terribly scared of the disease. She said that we need to get people out and keep our immune systems up and running. She said if we hide for a long time and next flu season gets here, that it will be worse. If you get the flu and covid at the same time you are toast.

Mini splits often have to be replaced as a set also. If one piece fails and isn't repairable you have to replace both the indoor and outdoor units together. They are matched systems.

My 257 weatherby likes standard Winchester magnum primers over Fed. Match.

Yep. The africanized killer bee was going to be the end of us all in the 90's too...

Wow. Good deal.

This appears to be a VG1. Good rifle. Good price.

If you want a cheap rifle that will be a great "truck gun" try savage. I just bought my son a semi auto model 64 for $150 brand new. It isn't pretty and I went savage because they are one of the few offering left hand 22lr right now. If he was right hand and I wanted something nicer CZ would have been my choice. Probably one of the switch barrel models. If you find and old Winchester 69a grab it. I have one my grandfather gave me years ago, and that rifle drives tacks.

Buy used. I bought an 06 Weekend Warrior Toyhauler from a buddy for $6000 about 2 years ago. It will sleep 4-6 easy and tows well. It has an onboard generator and has served my family and my hunting buddy really well for the last couple years. The only major expenses so far are a pair of batteries and resealing the roof. Tires will probably be this year, but that isn't horrible. Heck we had a great weekend in it last summer and jammed 9 people in it. 5 kids and 4 adults. We had a great time. Now we are talking about getting a SxS to put in the back which is nice. My hauler is only a 21 footer so only a RZR 900 or smaller fits well, but who cares. It is a great trailer for us. It is a huge upgrade over a tent...

You can find good used deals if you can wait for the right deal.

If it has a bathroom you can count it on your taxes as a 2nd home and right off the interest.

I am sure it is about to be the start of growing season in MI and they ban sales of seeds and plants. How are people who rely on gardens for food going to plant and support themselves. That seems pretty crazy. I can understand if it was pertaining to non-food plants or seeds, but that is pretty crappy of them.

Pistol splatter isn't bad as long as you understand it may happen. I love shooting steel matches. Just give it some range, dont be shooting it at 5 yards. There is nothing better then ringing steel fast.

Long sleeves, pants, and eye protection. You will get splatter at pistol ranges. Heck, I shot a steel plate at about 45yds with my 45-70 and caught a nasty splatter that went through my jacket and cut me pretty good.

To bad it doesn't say that we can hunt pigs in Bill Williams Refuge.

I did the opposite. For April fools I shaved my mustache and goatee. My children have never seen me without it, and my wife has only seen me once without it. They all were a little weirded out. My 8 year old freaked out a little, and my 5 year old gave me a mean stink eye. Then he demanded I grow it back.

I had a new one for me the other day. I was loading for my dad's 260 Rem with Berger 135gr classic hunter. Cbto was about 2.33. Cool no prob. I check one as it comes out 2.21 WTF? Berger must have mixed in a VLD with the Classic Hunter box. It is a completely different bullet from the rest of the box, and I have never used VLD in 6.5 caliber, so I know I didnt mix it.

Home depot rents them normally. I have had to rent them in the past.

Phoenix Rod and Gun is still open to members.

Better at least take him to his funeral in a pickup, and dig the whole with a Deere.

So Eric @ Axisworks confirmed for me today that my 257 Weatherby mag barrel is shot out. It is a basic Weatherby Vanguard (Howa 1500). Now I need to figure out what calibers I need to be thinking about for rebarrel. That is where CWT comes in! Help me choose and brainstorm a caliber. I am going to use this action. It is the first rifle I ever bought for myself, and the first rifle I killed a big game animal with. Criteria are I need to reuse this action with a long action magnum bolt face. I don't need a big boomer .30 Cal+ type caliber. I have a standard velocity 6.5 cal rifle, and have access to some 7mm mags from my dad. So I am thinking I want to keep this rifle in the 257-264 size. Thoughts?

Hector LIVES!!! Sorry, I couldn't help it. I have been watching Longmire on Netflix.

If I dont get drawn for deer this year maybe i will buy a kaibab elk tag so i can hunt kaibab for something at least. Find some big bucks and just dream of the day I may get to pull the trigger on one.

I didn't take pictures, but it was pretty packed out north of pleasant. At 130pm today there was a line 25 deep in both lanes to get into the lake at the main entrance. There were trucks and trailers lined up for a half mile on either side of the road where the blacktop end by the north gate. The desert was full of trailers, razors, jeeps, etc.

That is a good deal. A bare 700 action would cost about $300
