Big Dog222

Guys I seems to have developed a problem, maybe even just today. Was at the range this morning with my son where we had a great time shooting my .22lr, .222 and 6.5x55. We came home and I started the task of cleaning. I noted as the put the jab down the .22lr barrel there seen to be a free section, like as if you had exited the barrel but then it would tigthen again like the rest of the barrel, it was a 1 1/2 section. I check the outside of the barrel and oh no! there is a bulge in it. The rifle is Ruger bolt action I think is 77/22 or something like that in stainless. The only think I

Hi guys. I was reloading my 6.5x55 tonight to get ready for a deer stalking trip this weekend. I note that some of my brass (Federal) which I have used serveral time before, when I put the primer in it drop out again. The last day at the range I note some primer had drop out. Anyone else find this?? Can the brass expand at the primer end?? Thanks

Guys just interested if there are any hunters from N. Ireland on the forum, who hunt rats and or foxes with terries???????????

My bitch Nell got her stiches out today. The operation so far has been a success. The steel plate was fitted and she need to live a very low life until at least Christmas. It is hard keeping her calm as she is a cross between a Pat and a monkey . She out for this season and as she is just past 2 years this would have been a great season for us both. I have shot 2 foxes in the past 2 days and no dog with me.

Thanks guys your experiences are reasuring.  The vet call me at 1830hrs to say the steel plate didn't arrive and it will now be Monday [bANNED TEXT] the operation.  I am a bit Pd off about this but they assure me it will have no negative impact on the healing process.  I just miss her like mad as I haven't seen her since Wed morning and when I left for work she was fine.  People say she is just a dog but to me she is also my best [bANNED TEXT].  I will update next week.

Talked to the vets yesterday. They didn't do the operation as they didn't have small enough steel plate for her leg so hopefully it will happen today. They can't make promises but the vet said if Nell was her dog with this break she would be very happy as where the break is it is the best place to give her a chance to full recovery. The plate will not be near a joint and if she heals well we could take it out latter. In the mean time I have been told to ensure she down scales her life for up to 2 month. She needs to be kept in a cage in the house and I have had to make a gate to fit to th

Hi guys. It been a while since i have been on the forum, The lay out has change a bit too. Well the reason I am wanting to chat to you guys is this morning my 2 year old Pat/Parson cross got run over with a car. We live in the country but the road is very busy so it is a full time job making sure the dog can't get out of our enclosed yard. However, we moved some of our bantams to the front garden in a wee cope I made. My wife went out to let them out of the box and took the dog with her. My dog, Nell, has an extra ordinary nose, I think she is 1/2 hound. While the wife was open the cop

I will try this again, seem to loose the original. The attached photos are foxes I shot earier this summer. The 3 shot was early one summer morning with my Steyr Pro-varmint .222, using 50g v-max for the 2 adults and a 40g moly v-max on the club. A farmer contacted me to say he had a fox problem. A 0630hrs visit to a hilly field enabled me to glass and spot the home of his problem within 2 mins. A 30min stalk and dog never knew he was dead. The vixen ran a field length and stopped to look back, another humane kill. I knew the club would return to the home sight so I waited 5 mins and sh

Guy just to warn you off if you are thinking of purchasing a camera or range finder from www.crazycamers.com I ordered a Bushnell range finder from them. A month later they cancelled my order and said the would refund my card. That was a view weeks ago and no refund. My card was Visa Electron which means they debit the money from my account. Because it is Visa I thought I was protected; wrong, not with the electron. I have emailed them relentlessly and no reply at all. I have reserched the web to see what people have experienced from CRAZYCAMERAS and I wish I had done that before spen

Ya Ratattack I agree. I do work a whistle on some controls and will introduce more latter. Good point on she has a good nose. She really is a good fun pup and is working better on a lead. I am finding that the lond 15mtr lead is a blessing and lets me work on stay and heel well without her running off. So Heres hoping I get this right. Usually my dog have always stayed close and getting them to run out ahead was the issues, so this is a first for me. Thanks to all for you help.

Some good advice coming through there. Sorry if I make anybody mad, that is normally your choice but I do agree that I may have gone to the field to early. It not like I have really started to hunt with the dog but I wanted to see if she would pick up and work a scent. She did and bolted bunnies and if I had a gun I shot them. I had her fairly well on domestic basic training and also working on a whistle. However, I take the point and I will keep at the basic training and away from the field. I don't want her not to track as I do want her to track a wounded fox, earth work and if sh

Hi guys. Well my Patterdale, Parson Jack pup is a week short of 8 month. She is a great wee dog, energetic and a great nose. She is fairly good on basic trainingstuff but her weakness is coming to heel at time. If she don't want to, she will hold back for a wee while and then come. I feel I can work on this in a demestic situation. However, what I find hard is when we are in the field. I have used a variation of 15 mtr leash and off leash. She will work reasonably well until see gets a scent of the rabbit, fox, rat she is off like a hare tonguing the whole way. It is usually fine i

Try the links below. I bought all my reloading kit from both of these supplies but there are in the states.
