Well after a long process of elimination I bought my first handgun! I ended up getting the Springfield XDM 9mm, the guys out at bills gun shop were excellent at helping out. All an all I am very happy with the purchase. Now I picked up a couple of boxes of Winchester Ranger 147grain fmj. Anyone shoot this kind of ammo? Do you like it? Is it garbage? It was 40 bucks for 100 rounds from the guide

Where do you get your ammo from that is NOT sold out?

thanks all

Nice choice for your first Handgun. I've been eyeing the XDM up myself. Not that familiar with the Winchester Ranger Ammo, the little I've read it was only meant to be sold through Law Enforcement agencies?

Why not just buy your ammo at Bills Gun Shop? Support the Gun Shop owners and keep them in business. Or head up to one of the Sportsmans Guide stores in MN. they are closing up shop and have clearance sales going on. Not sure what they have for ammo sales though.

thanks bucksnort, I will end up buying more from Bills when I have time to make it out there again (45 min drive). I was kind of stupid not to buy it at Bills but I had a coupon for 10 off [PoorWordUsage]'s (But of course they didn't have anything) Them winchester ranger do say on the box only for law enforcement but I think that is just a marketing gig?

Considering I am familiar with the LE field...

I would def say that is a marketing gimic.. as I have never even heard of them nor seen any others using them.

Buy your ammo in bulk. It saves money in the long run.

      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.
