Re: Powder & Primers in MN?

for you Wisconsin guys, I could have Jari (she works close to Adam) pick up powder at Adams and bring here to the Almena / Turtle Lake area and i get to Rice Lake quite often or if you fella's get this way.


We should just get togather here someday and have a little shoot.... dang shop projects and field work in the way for a little while though.
 
Re: Powder & Primers in MN?

hmm, little quiet in here... How has everyone been lately? Been doing much shooting? Been really busy on my end trying to keep up with work and my social life. Hopefully this thursday I will be able to sneak away to the range for a little bit while the little lady is at work. Working on a new project right now also, trying to get all the components gathered.

I have a 700pss in 300rum that I have been playing with, it was my first magnum and had so much fun, I decided to go up a caliber. Scored a Rock 338 blank, 27" M40 contour 9.4 twist 5r. So I guess I am going to make a 338RUM build. Should be fun to play with, do not think I will put a brake on it as it will double up as a hunting rifle. I figure I can handle the 210gr bullets in the 300rum, so the 250gr bullets in the 338rum shouldnt be that much more brutal considering the rifle will weight a couple more pounds because of a thicker barrel.

Anyhow, keep us all up to date with what you guys have been up too.

Re: Powder & Primers in MN?

I've been doing finals. haven't been able to get out, but got some powder and loaded a bunch last week, so at least I am ready for some shooting. NG scratches my itch though, we have been hitting the UKD range lately, and have a lot of ammo this weekend for our 762s and 50s. I have a month left before AT and then Croatia, so I'll get some shooting in there too, after that I'm off to sniper school in AK...plenty of shooting there.

Should we consider a MN vs WI shoot? a little friendly competition? winner takes something home, and next year do the same? prize would be something like the jug U of M plays Madison for...?

Just a thought.

Re: Powder & Primers in MN?

I finally got all my sheetrock work done in the basement Tuesday morning so I have been hammering out this room...

Just getting my room into shape here, it will be my office and reloading room all in one.

Hopefully this weekend I will have some more time to get all the staining done and get the doors on all the cabinets and the counter top fastened... Maybe even get my T-7 mounted up.

I have a Dillon Strong Mount coming that I am going to modify to mount my Redding T-7 press... Hopefully that will be here tomorrow or Friday! I also have a desk coming Friday or Monday so I can officially move into my "Man Cave"!!!

I am a bit stoked...

I was thinking the same thing! What gives guys? FYI, Monday June 2nd at Elk River it will be 44 rnds at 600 yards for league night. $10 for non members, $5 for members to participate. I believe Tuesday nights are open to the public also for shooting at 600yards w/ the high power guys.
 
Re: MN member checking in!

Looks like I'll be in the area early July for about a month, then out to Arizona for a little while, just in time for that mild Phoenix summer.

Unfortunately, I don't see much shooting in my future for a while.

Adam, looks good. What kind of flooring are you going to put in? I did laminate flooring on the cheap recently on a concrete floor like that and it came out very nice. Just use the best underlay you can.

 
Re: MN member checking in!

Wow!!
Whazup? How is everybody?
Adventure 96 did you move to Duluth yet? Im up on the range about 75 miles North. We have a 680 yard range here if your in the area. I havent had time to shoot much lately working on outside projects like crazy. I have been investing in my reloading equipment this hobby is worse than crack!!

Re: MN member checking in!

Lefty, not there yet but I should be there in about a month. I'm guessing not much shooting after we get there since we're going to be looking for a house, etc. but you never know.

I've been fiddling with my PSS "clone" and I threw a coat of Alumahyde II on it prior to the move. Let's hope it's cured all the way.
 
Re: MN member checking in!

96, good time to look for houses! Market is soft to say the least, you will most definitely find a smokin' deal.

If anyone is in the Big Lake area this Saturday, my boys are throwing a bit of a bachelor party for me... I seem to be getting hitched on the 21st out in Colorado... Minor technicalities.

Wi50. you are too damn busy man! Lets go roll that JD side by side you got! I will bring the cocktails, after a few anything is possible.

That should make up for the fact we're selling two out here and we're getting taken to the cleaners. Oh well, the move is going to be worth it to say the least.

Re: MN member checking in!

I'm here in Duluth, great area, you have no idea how happy we are.

We found a house, definitely more expensive up here than we would have thought but it's a house we should be able to live in for good. Plus, there's a detached garage for car stuff as well as a new parkerizing setup & reloading area.

Ah yes, the ice box city. Do you live up the hill or down. I'm about 40 miles or so (of good road) south of you.
 
Re: MN member checking in!

I threw some 250gr .338 caliber sierra match kings down range at 2925fps today with outstanding results! Using a 26" finish length rock barrel and an op inc muzzle brake. Used my 700pss 300RUM for the action and stock. Now if Kenny will get his butt in gear w/ his 300RUM we can go have a recoil fest!
