  1. Download DU (direct upload), free and fast, few glitches.
  2. As it started raining tonight I let Jess work the hedges and eventually she bolted an ideal shot. Good times. U.
  3. Yeah, sold my center fires a few years ago now, I worked out my average shot distance was just under 100 yards.On reflection I wished I had been out with a muzzloader for this one! Thanks.
  4. Fantastic video. I hope it wakes many up here in Britain to how effective a bow really is when used correctly. Thanks. U.
  5. Passed by a spinney and thought hmmm. I tucked in some cover and have a good squeal. A minute later out pops a vixen and walks right to me. 28yards. Mangey old girl. U.
  6. Hmm. I wondered if that happened to me.I checked my zero after and it was fine! Nevermind, can't get them all.
  7. .... some you lose. Waited until dark for a fox but the blighter never showed so I went elsewhere and found two cubs. Got one and missed the other! I blame my age!! The photo. Found this chap at home too. U.
  8. Some say it won't be very deep harden.I may try the old way next time in the wood burner. U.
  9. My LR mod stays on all the time too. They can.
  10. Stick around 50grain or less. By all means try other weights but I bet you settle on 50 or less . PPU definitely should be tried.
  11. Not quite buddy. 22 LR bullets are externally externally lubricated. That lubricant coats the bore and protects from moisture. Jacketed bullets don't carry lubricant so the bore is left dry except the fouling/ spot is hygroscopic. It absorbs moisture and that's what causes damage. The moderator acts as a decompression chamber, the rapid decompression allows water vapour (present from combustion) to condense rapidly and so water drops can form in a mod. Without and lubricant coating the muzzle and bore water from the mod can enter the bore. This can happen on any rifle from LR up b
  12. I always keep 3 or 4 of the Napier pads in the cabinet. Got that VP90 stuff in them that stops rust and corrosion.http://www.napieruk.com/acatalog/Super-VP90-Corrosion-Inhibitor-VP90_.html http://www.napieruk.com/acatalog/Super-VP90-Corrosion-Inhibitor-VP90_.html Don't know if it's all BS but I've never had any problems while I've been using them. Have heard they work well myself. I always wanted to fit a 12v bulb in my cabinet to created a gentle heat but never got around to it.
  13. If your tikka barrel is like mine was it won't need much cleaning! The big concern is moisture, like bringing a cold rifle into home and condensation forms on it and the bore. I run a loose patch through to remove any damp fouling after a few hours. As you know, there is no coating of bullet lube protecting the bore like a rim fire. If there is a moderator store it muzzle down. Moderator's are water traps, from the combustion and rarely get hot enough to vape off. I like the Forrest foam for cleaning the bore of copper fouling. Externally I use my black powder patch lube. Cand
  14. Yes, they don't on a single shot generate enough heat to keep dry the bore from the water vapour produce on combustion.
