    I know that you did it but what is going to happen if or when the Ball rotates  and the 760 bit dia of the ball engages with the 750 dia of the barrel dia ? You wall wrecker you. A friend of mine is a black powder retro fellow. He has a Brown Bess percussion musket by I think Laing in 729 and a double percussion 12 bore shotgun. Hes a bit of a tite wad and they only seeļ the light òf day once in a blue moon but the smoke and noise are entertaining. If and when he turns out. Fair ole thump when he fires it and it chips stuff down easily. You wouldn't drop your trousers and tease him out to 45 to 50 paces.

    They ain't gonna turn in the barrel friend.

    Very soft and have a wad either side....or top and bottom.

  2. Whilst in North Wales I picked up some BP from a gun shop in Bangor.

    Whilst there I noticed they were selling off some lead ball.

    Turns out non of them were of any use to me except for maybe the .760". Maybe I can resize them below ole' Bess's bore of .750" !

    When I get home I dig out a wad punch and cut them down to .737".

    Today I shot 3 at an old brick wall.

    Shot one hit the brick I was aiming for

     Shot two went a little high and shot three landed on shot one!

    This is brilliant in my opinion.

    Provided I can get close enough, there is, if called upon, nothing this gun can not take.

    The squirrels were taken with  shot.

    The wadding was the paper taken from an  old wasps nest.

    A thorough cleaning that took all of 15 minutes and she is sparkling again.

  3. They just want to pass the "assumption" onto the doctors.

    Last year I refused to pay my doctor for a report. I visited him and said that I am meeting my legal requirements so he didn't send a report. Licence renewed as per normal.

    Just how can a general practitioner tell who is going to be a nutter or not?

    Besides, would it not be better for the public's general safety if they chopped thieves hands off, branded peodos on the forehead, executed drug dealers, put louts in stocks for a day and supplied schools with hazel wands?

  4. There is a Texaco garage by us and anywhere else in the country Texaco diesels turn my car into a buttery smooth powerful motor but the one by me owned by well sun tanned folks is no different to a lousy diesel. It makes poor power, makes my engine knock and drops my mpg!

  5. Part of an MOT is to inspect for tampering of the dpf so if you doubt a tester is sympathetic be careful how you go about gutting!

    If you do alot of tootling buy a good dpf cleaner and add to the fuel occasional and treat the vehicle to the posh fuel regular. Oh and I mean a tank full, not a tenners worth!

    If you're going to get a remap like I did, get the egr deleted too!

     

    I will be returning to petrol as soon as I can!!

    Chernobyl.

    Chinese dam builders.

    Italian bridge design.

    Fitting square windows in pressure vessels. 

    Mad cow disease.

    The veroa mite and honey bees and so on.....

    Experts, bless.....

    There is this deer angle with the 243. The price of all 22cf ammo is getting up there now?  Of the .224 cals =22cf any will take Fox at respectable distance. The 222 is a brilliantly accurate and there are a ton of them out there that are cheap because they are out of fashion at the moment in favour of larger cals such as the 250, the 220 swift and the 243.

    222 is a peach and so forgotten.

    Plenty gun.

    Have owned three and would have a fourth tomorrow.
