    My local Sportsmans was well stocked with Federal small magnum pistol primers when I visited yesterday. However, they were out of most common pistol caliber ammo, .22 LR and .223 rifle rounds. I didn't need any but noted the shortage.

    Ruger Single Six .32s are no longer made but available used. Cimmaron sells Lightning and Model P Jr. revolvers. I know ladies that shoot the Ruger and the Cimmaron models. If your wife can hold and shoot these she will find her preference. BTW, the .32 H&R mag cartridge can be easily loaded to take down properly-calibrated knockdown targets.

    The pandemic drove some panic buying too. After all, those hoards of toilet paper need defending.

    I purchased 1,000 Federal Small Magnum Pistol primers yesterday from Sportsmans online for $23.90. I didn't need them but it is hard to pass up a bargain. I'll pickup them up later this week when I visit the Costco next door.

    Sportsmans had Federals on sale this Spring for $23/k, 1,000 limit. My Sportsmans is next to a Costco, so I would stop and pickup 1,000 primers, a chicken and fill my van with gas. My primer supply slowly increased this Spring.

      Sepsis - occurs when chemicals released into the bloodstream to fight the infection trigger inflammatory responses throughout the body.

      This not good.  Tex goes on the prayer list starting tonight

    My main match revolvers are 44 mag Rugers.  When I shoot smokeless rounds in them I load a 240 gr, RNFP bullet over 7 grains of Unique.  This load was on Alliant's website for years.  No gas check is needed and the bullets do not tumble.  I use Federal primers because my revolvers are tuned with light springs.  If you have stock springs any large pistol primer will be reliable.  I buy Hi-Tek coated bullets from Missouri Bullets with Brinnel hardness 12.  These soft bullets give less "splashback" from steel targets. 

     

    Once-fired 44 mag brass is often available on auction sites.  Buy in lots of at least 1000 cases and never pay more than half the price you would pay for virgin brass.

      great stuff, thank you so much. Have had a lot of pards recommend Unique, almost picked up a bottle while in Walmart tonite. Figured I'd wait until I at least had bullets. I been saving all my brass, have about 300+ and still have 3 boxes to shoot. Had someone else offer to trade me his used mags for all my used specials. One big question... case trimmers. Is that something that needs to be done a lot? I shoot 100+ miles from where I live but found out I have some local shooters i am meeting next week, hope to find someone who can help me learn all this stuff. Thanks again for responding  :-)

    Tripadvisor.com gave the Drury Inn & Suites Phoenix Happy Valley a certificate of excellence.  Stay away from the nearby Motel 6 Suites and Extended Stay motel.  They have security problems.  The maids at the Motel 6 report to their gangbanger boyfriends which rooms have guns so they can steal them.  At the Extended Stay I saw a drug dealer being evicted after he threatened hotel staff.

     

    Enjoy WR.  It is the best CAS match I've ever attended.

      Thanks for the advice. I've reserved a room at the Drury Inn. We've always had good luck with their motels. Looking forward to the match have been wanting to go for years. The daughter and I are going to spend some time at the Grand Canyon the following week.

      The south rim of the Grand Canyon is at about 8,000 feet elevation and can be covered with snow in February.  The crowds are light then and it is a beautiful time to visit.  However, I recommend a four wheel drive vehicle due to possible winter driving conditions.  Only the south rim will be open in February.  The north rim will be closed.  Bring your winter clothes from Iowa.  It may be colder on the south rim than Iowa. 

       

      BTW, WR is held during the peak of the grapefruit season in Arizona.  Go to any fruit stand in Mesa and pick up crates of fresh citrus to haul home to Iowa.  (Citrus less than two days off a tree is incredibly tasty.)  While there visit Wild West Mercantile.  My cowboy costumes are primarily from their bargain bins.

       

      Safe travels and I hope to meet your an your daughter.

  22. Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971

    Glad to see you back on the wire, HHH.  We don't see enough of you since the Magdalena range closed so we asked to posse with you at WR.  BTW, we bought OL #4's trailer and I sold our little Coachmen on Christmas Eve.  I am preparing for retirement and look forward to travels including CAS matches, national parks and museums.

      I would love to shoot with you two at Winter Range!  You will so enjoy retirement... expect to see you shooting all over the place, now!  Been busy loading up lots of ammo... I was down to virtually nothing.  See you soon!

    There is plenty of untreated sleep apnea in the population. If you often wake up suddenly gasping for breath get a sleep checkup,  Many of us are at an age when sleeping disorders sneak up on us.  These disorders have treatments.  There are serious consequences for untreated sleep apnea.  The heart is starved for oxygen and weakens.  My father died early possibly due to his refusal to deal with his sleep apnea.  I am dealing with mine.  Grizzly Dave, if your insomnia is chronic have a sleep checkup.  We want to see your videos and read your posts for years to come.

      Thanks for the concern Edward, not to worry, I do have sleep apnea and sleep with a CPAP every night.  It was just 'one of those nights' where I couldn't sleep.

    I checked the Comfort Inn official website. You can now book rooms in this property in June of 2018 during EOT. The booking software indicates the property will be open in December of this year.
