Walks,
You load the ammo and give it to him.
Some time later, you guys meet for lunch, he pays for lunch and the ammo.

Don't recall a Scheels when I was out there. But, lately, since life is keeping away from casting, I have few bullets already cast, and nearly out of some ammo, I have been picking up some commercial cast bullets. Got them from Scheels. Considered myself very lucky.

So had a great night with the wife. Dinner, then a 9/11 special Tribute night softball game at the local minor league ball park. A team of wounded warriors vs the local BeArded WARRIORs organization (Vets/Police/Fire). And the fireworks that the stadium puts on is the best I have ever seen! It was great to be in the stadium with so many fellow veterans and wounded warriors on such a special night!

"The Trash Pandas, USA Patriots, and Huntsville’s own BeArded WARRIORs organization will band together for an evening of softball, fireworks, and military appreciation on Friday, September 11th."

I spent the majority of the day stripping and priming the roof on my outdoor woodstove. Appears the manufacturer decided to cut corners and save some money by using some type of poor bonding, spray on plastic finish on the roof of this $11,000.00 stove. The finish started coming off this spring at only four years of age (maybe 5). Scraped it off in rather large pieces, sanded it down to bare metal and put a rusty metal primer on it. I'll put the finish coat on Sunday. Then I painted a Oak chair for my shop that my wife gave me. Of course now that I repaired it, primed it, and painted it, she wants it back! She has three more just like it, but this one had a cracked seat, so she "gave " it to me for the shop. Something tells me I'll be painting the other three to match.
Was out tearing beaver dams out at one ditch yesterday. I was loading the canoe up, when a local bear hunter stopped to talk. Seems their party of 7 got five bears the first week. That's a pretty good success rate, and better than what I've heard from bear hunters farther North. Sounded like they had 11 baits out and all were being worked pretty hard. There isn't much natural food in the area and the berry crop was real poor this year. Talked to one of the county highway workers later in the day, whom lives to the SW of there, and he said the corn was being hit hard by bears and in everyone's garbage. I live 85 miles farther North, we have more Oak, and the acorns are spotty this year, but those getting bears here are hunting around the Acorns.

Mine are by no means odd balls. I have a Ruger Hawkeye SS synthetic in 06 and a very nice Bergara B-14 Hunter
The Ruger shoots cast nicely. I still need to run cast in the Bergara.

I feel your pain.
One time, at a gunshow, I stumbled onto a un-sporterized 1909 Arg Mauser, the tag said it was 30-06 and priced at $125.
like you, I was interested, I guess because it was an old oddball.
The seller claimed to know nothing about it.
I knew the original chambering is 7.65x53 Mauser and figured it was rechambered.
(I later learned that happened a lot during the importation into USA, since 7.65 ammo was scarce here, they were usually sporterized also).
So, since the seller claimed to know nothing, I asked if I could try to chamber a 30-06 fired case.
The Seller said OK, and he had some on his table, I proceeded and when the bolt almost closed, the case got stuck.
...and it was stuck good, the Seller was quite upset ... I just walked away. To this day, I wish I had bought it.

Could not sleep yet after getting off work last night. It is my weekend so oh well.
Doing mad scientist experiments trying to make 380 take large pistol primers. Yes I am that bored.
Put my adventure so far in the SP vs SR thread.
Now just having coffee. Really could use a piece of pie right now.
