I see hsolist is still selling reloading equip, I thought they quit, but noticed the other day they still do. I have bought some individual items for reloading through them awhile back. Like I mentioned go in with a shooting/hunting buddy that has a mutual interest in reloading. Whether it comes from Scheels or buying equipment from someone who is getting out of reloading it makes the whole process less expensive and more fun.

Be prepared to designate some of your workbench space as well as shelf space for the setup and supplies. Keep the area neat and tidy. One friend has a setup in his basement. I have it setup in my garage. Just something to think about logistically speaking.

FWIW: If you are up this way sometime, Fergus Falls, you are welcome to see our setup. Otherwise, there should be someone closer that can give you the scoop.

Good luck,

WG

hsolist still sells reloading equipment but they put a stop to components like brass and bullets. I bought my .204 yesterday. Finally decided on the Savage model 12 low profile and ordered a 6.5X20 scope. I sold (gave away)my reloading equipment when I moved to Starbuck 6 years ago, thinking my hunting-reloading days were over. Big mistake. Now I am buying everything back at 10 times the price. Oh well, it's only money.........

so if we had your money,,,we'd burn ours? Doubt it. JK. You sound like a friend of mine. He's sold me some stuff and now he's kicking himself. Keep us posted on the 12.

I was thinking of getting a .223 in a savage predator. I have a bushmaster right now, but i can't control myself behind an auto loader. I want a bolt for a less expensive .223(expending ammo wise). good luck/have fun.

Waskawood I am going to check out the wolfs den a local gun shop they carry everything I would need and are close by if i have any ?'s. And yes I know how some things can sell on hsolist for more than you can buy them brand new for. You have to know when to stop bidding. I will probably go in and have them set me up with everything I need and buy it all at once. The buddy I hunt with shoots the same guns/ammo so we will split the price.

Chomp:

Good idea checking with your local shop. They can get you headed in the right direction.

Waska:

Good choice on gun and variable power optics. You will like it I am sure. Keep us posted on your reloading for it.

You mention Starbuck, just wondering if you are aware of the Grant County Shooters Association (GCSA) range N. of Elbow Lake? Not sure how far that would be for you exactly but they have a 100/200 yard rifle range and just recently completed the long range berm and shooting shelter which gives you 300/400/500 and 600 yard shooting opportunities. Very nice range. FWIW.

Here is my Savage model 12 varmint low profile and a 6.5 by 20 scope. Now if it would not snow 10 inches every weekend maybe I could get out to the range and work up a new recipe that it likes.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
