Shedhunteraz check your pm.

Not really into politics or posting on this particular forum, but just spend four days in the St Louis area, locals tell me that Ferguson is mostly a blue collar neighborhood, so they are coming from another area to protest/loot and reek havoic. One thing that I'm sure of, all of the work shoes/boots are reasonably safe there.

On the 202 SanTan between Ariz Ave and McQueen has a lot of birds, if you are a decent shot, I think you could have your limit before the cops hauled you off to the can.

I don't think this particular snake was pink but here goes, I remember an article in the paper in the early 70's, it involved a man on a bike who was heavily tattooed and apparently heavily intoxicated, he was riding either to or from Canyon Lake and found a rattlesnake on the road, soon a crowd had gathered to see what the hoopla was about, at first our hero was going to simply shoot the snake with his handgun, but with the crowd around him and enough alcohol in him he decided to go mano to mano with the snake and handed his gun to someone in the crowd. Well after being bitten several times a Sheriffs deputy showed up and got an ambulance there, the hero ask the Sheriff to retrieve his handgun before getting into the ambulance, party that received the handgun apperantly drove off with it.

I shoot a 6.5x47 Lapua and I use factory brass which comes pre annealed, I set my dies to bump the shoulder back two thousandths, normally I replace the brass after a barrel change, but with the last 300 plus cases I have used three barrels.

I know two things! One is that Stanley wanted the ammo so he bought it, more power to him. The second thing I know is that ALYUAZ must not of had any friends on this site, because I didn't have to suffer the first three post after the listing saying Wow Bro what a great buy, what a great price and what a great guy!

Well I'm no snake guy, but I've talked to a lot of guys that's been around a few Cowboys! One claimed that the pink ones were those that had recently shed their skin, made sense to me! Another thing is why is is that some people get bitten and they have a terrible time long afterwards including nerve damage and some don't. I have heard that not all bites contain venum and that a mature snake knows exactly how much it will take according to the one getting the bites size, where as a young snake gives you a full shot no matter what. At one job I had we had to take a first aid class every two years, I ask one Paramedic that was giving a class about snake bites, since there was several around, and he said that most snake bites are treated with a shot of Benadril to keep the swelling down and to keep your airways open, and that anti venum was rarely used due to its availability and cost.

Rather than spend your money on a scale, might think about a bench rest type powder meter, I have a Harrels that I load nothing but Varget in and most charges are dead on or within one tenth. Just my .02.

Not a real big fan of Lester, but from what I understand the reason that he has powder when the others don't, is that he will pay the suppliers more to get it. Not to say that he isn't gouging the heck out of us shooters. Last year I stopped at a Grafs store just outside of St. Louis, bought 2pounds of Varget for 28.00 each with tax, Bruno was selling it then for 34.00 plus tax.

I think the one word that best describes dealing with this or any other Government agency is BOHICA, or bend over here it comes again!

Can't help you with prone or kneeling, but if you are serious about prone, drop a twenty on Tubbs book High Power Rifle, got them on Amazon. Covers the three shooting positions and the mental side of shooting also.

I am going to design and make a bullet that actually finds deer and drops them in their tracks, I'm thinking of three different grades. First the Dink bullet, you fire off a round and the bullet finds the deer and he is down, no frills. Second grade is the Buddy Envy bullet, once the gun is fired the bullet finds at least a 100 inch buck and automatically sends pictures to all of your buds on your contact list. Third the Ultimate bullet, fire the gun bullet finds the biggest deer out there, when it is close to a road, sends GPS cords to you for pick up, sends text messages to your Skinner, packer, taxidermist, and green scores it right there. Just haven't figgered out what the market would be on these bullets.

Wouldn't look past a .260 Remington either.

I'll throw in my .02, first I'll take a guess and say that your target was at 100 yards and you were shooting at Rio, judging from the target. I would rule out wind with that 7 mag, takes quite abit to move that bullet around at 100, next question was you shooting factory ammo or handloads? With handloads you might try getting your bullet seated about 8-15 thousands off the lands unless your using one that recommends further, ie Barnes. None of those groups are that bad, would kill anything walking in this state and any other, but everyone likes smaller groups! Bedding is also an option, another thing that I personally like to do is use the target in the center for groups so I can make sure my cross hairs are dead center everytime.

I always turn to the prestigious firm of Dewey, Cheatem and Howe!

I know that the Tucson Rod and Gun Club sells it, they give their members a discount also, there was a guy selling it on the backpage but I haven't seen his post for awhile. Reclaimed shot usually sells for about half the price of regular shot, it still may be cheaper to buy the 100 round box of Federals, Winchester, or Remingtons. My MEC has quite abut of dust on it.

Don't know if you found one or not, but The Nov issue of American Rifleman has them for sale by the Old Western Scrounger, Remington made,$160.00. ows-ammo.com 304-274-0004. FFL required.

Y'all hold my beer and watch this! The guy did alright till he stuck his cell phone in the Deers face for a pic.

The 7 RM is a very fast, very flat shooting, capable of taking anything walking in this state and most others. Never heard of anyone shooting cast bullets in one though, it would be like taking a Derby winner and giving pony rides at the fair. I use IMR-4350 with a Nosler AB in mine, groups really well.

Try Sinclair part#749-000-747SN, phone#800-717-8211.

I have flown a total of 8 times with my guns, I just had a lock on it that I picked up at Wal-mart, they are a key lock. No problems with TSA about the locks. Before I flew anywhere with my guns I was told that Southwest Airlines is the most gun friendly, but that sometimes your gun would come off with the luggage instead of going to the baggage claim room like it's supposed to, everytime that I have flown it's been with Southwest and my gun has come off with the luggage 3 out of 8 times, so that is something to watch for. Everyone knows what a gun case looks like, so make sure your guns go home with you and not a stranger!

To answer your question how long can you shoot? I would say stop when your barrel starts getting warm. Back in the day an 06 was all that was used at Perry, so you are good out to 5-600 yards. Most Savages will shoot right out of the box. My best advise is to do like my buddy Stomp does, practice, practice, and then practice some more. The plus side with an 06 is barrel life, all things being equal.

Within the past ten years, I have used a Nosler Partition bullet, but I have shot a Javelina this year with a .30 Cal 150gr Sierra Game King, taken a couple of Coues with a 30 Cal 150gr Hornady Interlock, anyone ever have a problem with a bullet considered non premium? I saw a forkie Coues once that was shot three times with a factory Rem core loct in a 150gr 7mm Mag, Man that deer was chewed up.
