    Does it look like this
  2. Stavross
    It’s a rimfire mate, therefore it strikes the rim of the cartridge ?
  3. Stavross
    It’s good money, you can’t give them away up here, they just go for dog food

    We have got bloody loads up here a mate of mine is getting a fiver each for them down in Lincolnshire, but they have to take them in 20 at a time

    Up at my mates place this evening for an hour or so as he’s got a big hare problem and has asked if I can thin them a bit, he told me that he had counted over 20 just along the small wood that runs along the front of the farm and would I concentrate on them because they can be seen from the road and attract the undesirables now normally I’d of taken the .223 or.243 but with all this talk of HMR recently, I thought I’d give that an outing, there was certainly a good few about and this was just after dark, I took 6 and a rabbit off the front field missing 2 at relatively close range, but m

    Busy old week last week, services in, finish off prep for sub floors, prep for base for a summer house ( some summer house, it works out at 10 cube ) after the prep for the sub floors it turns out the people that were meant to be pumping them in can’t get access to the site, so it looks like we will be doing them, at 18 cube mixed on site that won’t be getting done on a day rate off to install lampposts at a school this week so that will give me time to decide how much I want to do the concrete

    I don’t like my dinner floating around the plate the Mrs on the other hand puts that much on the roast spuds need armbands
  8. Stavross
    As in, that stuff you put on a dinner ?
  9. Stavross
    Pot roast beef, garlic and thyme roast spuds, homemade yorkie puds, homemade gravy, bit of veg

    It was made specifically for the savage arms A17 semi, like you I don’t know what makes it suitable for a semi and all the other ammo not suitable
  11. Stavross
    Yeah, I’ve used that, it’s what my mate used to get when he was keepering the moor near me, it’s expensive, I think it comes in boxes of 200 and are about £100, they say it’s faster and more accurate but I didn’t notice any difference, never seen any split
  12. Stavross
    Creature of habit apparently, that one hasn’t read the script

    I use quite a lot of HMR ammo and a couple of years ago I was checking it all and finding a lot split, then the lad in the gun shop said what I bought was new, I continued to check it and didn’t find any split from about 600 rounds, so I stopped checking them, as I said previously I checked what I have now and none split from about 250 Winchester HV’s and just over 100 Hornady

    Cottage pie tonight

    Couple of these, while doing her tea listening to radio 2, there’s worse ways to spend a Saturday evening
  16. Stavross
    Yeah, she’s ok mate, had to have her pet put to sleep that she’s had for 15 years, so she feels like she’s lost a family member

    CCI sorted the split cartridge problem and that’s why it’s rare to see a split cartridge now, I checked all the Winchester I’ve got and the Hornady ( CCI cartridge) and none of them are split, you do get a lot split after firing but I’ve had no issues with them
  18. Stavross
    That’s strange, I thought that had been sorted, I haven’t had any split for a good couple of years now, the worst for it were Remington, closely followed by Horady, it only happened once but I got a round stuck in my browning from a split cartridge, I’ve got a couple hundred of them Winchester, I’ll check them tomorrow

    The cull has done wonders for the ground nesters, it’s a shame it only came about for the spread of TB and nothing to do with protecting wildlife, there’s a hell of a lot around us and the cull never made it to us, if they had looked at it from a conservation perspective instead of a farming/financial one the countryside around me would be in a better place

    Not sure, it didn’t look like it had been ragged about, but where it was and the tyre track on the field say it wasn’t natural causes, maybe lead poisoning

    First day back up the shoot for a few weeks and it’s all settled down and looking like spring is on the way, I spent the best part of 2 hours cleaning the pens up and the shed where we have our elevenses, I filled my 2 feeders I keep running until the end of March and then had an hour walking around the piggeries smacking a few squizzers out the tops of the trees, it’s nice to have it back to myself whilst over the piggeries I came across a dead badger, I noticed some tyre tracks across the field and looking at where it was I suspect foul play ? Over the past week I’ve mainly been u

    Very sad, but I fear it won’t be the last
  23. Stavross
    I never said it wasn’t 50ft/lbs of energy at 200 yards is not a lot for an animal the size of a fox, I wouldn’t think many would drop on the spot, I would of thought even a light .223 would still be doing over 700ft/lbs at that distance, I’d be more than confident in that, to me that makes the .223 a better option than a hornet
  24. Stavross
    That’s what I’d be using
  25. Stavross
    At that distance I’d use the centrefire I’ve never had a hornet, shot a couple only on rabbits and they don’t half wack’em
