Hospice caretakers are some of the most wonderful people you will ever work with-angels on earth. . . Unfortunate that we require their skills and training. My heart goes out to you and your family-

I would like to have the empty brass. And if the ablr is 175 gr I will take that as well. I’ll pm you and see what works-

My pre 64 Winchester .30-06 shoots very well over max with the 165 gr bullets I like and that’s where I shoot it. It also prefers solid base lead tipped bullets-which makes sense based on what it was made to shoot at its time of manufacture-

Accuracy over velocity every time. BUT I will try multiple powders and brass if I can to get the most satisfying result. For example, my 7mm-08 shoots almost 100 fps faster with nosler brass than with R-P but much more accurate with r-p. When I load less powder in the nosler brass it also...

I also have a pelican 1750 which is good for a single scoped rifle. I don’t remove bolts or scopes but I do leave a trigger lock in place. I also have a Boyt case which is alittle wider and handles two scoped rifles. It is a heavier case and the weight with two long guns gets close to the...

I’ve seen them kill and push deer out of an area while hunting in Nevada. Then they leave to another part of their territory and the animals trickle back in.

Am I the only one here with dull knives?! I do custom bird taxidermy when I am not at the fire dept. my wife is fond of saying taxidermy pays for all my other “hobbies”

They do offer discounts to certain groups of people, so with a first responder discount, the price comes down to more like $2300.

$25 a box is what I was thinking as well. Pm me your address and I’ll get you exact shipping and we can work out payment methods

These are partial boxes land could go as well -make an offer if you have any interest

Was looking through my stuff and remembered I had these. Bought them for a friend who loved the old/original solid base bullets in his .270. Health problems on his end cancelled his desire for them. If anyone here is interested, I would like to sell them-I don’t own a .270 and rarely load...

I’m a firefighter in Utah although I have more or less aged out of the wildland business. I sometimes go as medical support. Utah and Colorado have been competing for the biggest fires in the country since early summer. The summer monsoon season and the local droughts are intense this season...

I don’t touch rifles in this heat. Give it till September and try again on a cool morning.

My 7stw has a Douglass that has been phenomenal. It is over twenty years old now so maybe they were better back in the day-but I would use them again. I would be comfortable with any of the better name brands tho, no real bias

OUCH! Been there, done that-
