    I've got a couple of magpies if someone is struggling to get started. Collect from Weymouth.

    The 6.5 x 50 will not be able to connect to an external battery pack, apparently. Not known how long the onboard battery life is.

    It's reported today that the Co-op bank is favourite to take over 632 Lloyds TSB branches. Is this the same Co-op that does not allow hunting on the huge amount of farmland that it owns? If so, and you bank at one of these branches, please consider whether or not you will remain with the branch/bank.

    One day I hope to find time to make one of these. http://www.shotgunsportsmagazine.com/downloads/bench_plans.pdf

    Yep! It's called quantative easing. If all we can 'make' is money, we're in a bad way. We can't 'all' be dealers.

    I don't think we make anything any more!

    The price of anything is what someone is prepared to pay. In a lot of cases today, when people have more disposable income than years ago, some people will pay what seems to be stupid money for things that others, on a different living plain, would not dream of buying at the price. 'More money than sense', 'A fool and his money are soon parted', 'Not living in the real world' are sayings that come to mind. I would not think of paying, what for me would be a weeks income, to walk round for a few hours with a rifle in my hand, on the off-chance of having a shot at a deer. Some people can 're

    You've probably missed them! BUT http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/2827_13008.htm

    Is that a mis-print. I bought 500 .223(Samson) at £8 for 20 about 2 months ago. How much are you going to pay for cases, used or new? Most reloaders would, I suspect, advise buying a large quantity of brass or rounds so that there is a better chance of the cases being fairly uniform.

    It could have been much worse. You could have been blowing your nose. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/8484978.stm

    They're having it rough in Scotland. http://www.obantimes.co.uk/news/fullstory.php/aid/9416/Outrage_at_red_deer__91free_for_all_92_.html

    Some people just resize the neck with rounds they intend to use in the same rifle and even go to the extent of inserting the bullet the same way up each time.

    This is what Eley says: http://www.championshooters.com/Eley3.html Eley HV hollow points have probably killed more rabbits in this country than most ammo.

    Some more stuff here; http://www.chuckhawks.com/browning_a-bolt_rimfire.htm At 100 yrds, Stinger bullets appear to be dropping back to subsonic.

    Just found this. "Most .22 Long Rifle powders increase velocity up to about 19 inches of barrel length; the powder used in the Stinger increases velocity up to the longest .22 barrel length tested by the NRA, 26 inches."

    A lot of the ammo that I used to bring home from the range used to 'crack' even with the moderator. It's 'supposed' to be 60 fps below the speed of sound. Now, to open an old wound, would a longer barrel be better for stuff like Stingers? AND, what about barrel wear using stingers? Is it noticeable or negligible?
  19. rjimmer
    You could have guessed right, perhaps.

    I tried playing around with Ammoguide and I reckon you might get an extra 1.5" drop at 300 yrds if zeroed at 200 yrds.
  21. rjimmer
    If you zero at 100 yrds, the point of impact will be 31" low at 250 yrds and with a 5mph cross wind the bullet will drift nearly 15". That's according to Ammoguide.

    A lot depends on the contract that the syndicate has. A farmer/occupier has to keep down vermin and pests. Do you shoot anything other than pests and vermin? If the syndicate is responsible for keeping vermin and pests controlled and they fall down in their duties, there should be a right for the farmer to appoint someone or do it him/herself.

    They are changing hands for £20 per 100 on one forum.

    Anything above the speed of sound is supersonic. Ask any smallbore match shooter how his ammo groups.

    I think you had better read the thread again. Under 24" for a shotgun means it's a FAC weapon in the UK.
