    Is 8208 XBR now a unicorn?

    You would be better off buying 5-8 pounds at a time to bring down the cost per pound since you are factoring in the shipping that way. I generally don’t buy powder online in less than 5lb per order or adding primers to the order. Also watch for those free hazmat shipping emails. ETA - powder...

    Stuff overheard at the range or local gun shop

    Heard this just this past Sunday at a public range. Husband shooting wife’s rifle because she shot most of her ammo and couldn’t get it on paper.

    Texas, NM, Arizona Road Trip Suggestions

    Palo Duro canyon state park and big bend National park are my top two suggestions. If you hit Palo Duro then Cadillac ranch is a quick neat stop and the Big Texan steak house in Amarillo is pretty good and worth peeking at. My favorite in the state is big bend.

    I Pushed SOS and Got Rescued: Lessons Learned

    Glad it worked out the way it did. When you were describing the initial pain I was saying to myself sounds like gallstones (having just had mine taken out in June). I’m curious to see if it’s a weakness in the surgery site but regardless of what it is I hope it’s a minor thing.
