  1. The UK is destined to be worse than Italy, and it won't be down to bagging a rabbit!
  2. None. Long punch to decap. Hollow tube to reprime. Powder measure to scoop powder. Punch for cards. Tissue paper rolled for wadding. Roll crimp in the drill. I have a steel ring to resize bad deformed cartridge heads.
  3. My works seem to be in total denial about the absent colleague and his father's death from the virus! Surely the authorities will get involved by asking where he works no ??
  4. Is the rifle a Parker Hale or midland?
  5. I'm royally tits off now!! All this nonsense and it appears a selfish idiot at work who lives with his father has this weekend lost his father to Corona. Sentiments aside that means that work colleague has chosen to ignore guidelines and possibly infected others at work! BUT I CANT GO GET A BLOODY RABBIT OR FOX ON MY OWN IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE BUT CAN GO WORK! BOLLOCKS! UTTER BOLLOCKS! EITHER SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN OR SHUT UP.
  6. Sure. You got to meter it just right. We use to whistle them to and they would come running in but they probably missed a few days. Tell tale sign would be the ground worked over etc.
  7. Pheasants like chickens like to scratch in the earth. The damp also softens the grain. I've seen fallow raiding hoppers but not fiddling in state so much.
  8. Got this yesterday. Not a feather out of place!
  9. The Lee loader does size the cartridge head. But it won't resize the swelling plastic. 303 and 444 brass sometimes needs the rim turning to the correct shape. Also the cartridge length is quite short so conventional wads need to be short to get the payload up. A thin card and nail varnish on top to hold it all together. No need to weigh every charge and load. Just make some volumetric measures. This is my basic kit.
  10. Yes mate. It's the ball expander that gets overlooked the most. Most tapered cartridge cases naturally let go but the neck is first crushed then forced open again by the expander ball. Think you can only get carbide dies for straight cases.
  11. Loading fourten for a repeating gun can be tricky. You do need a means of sizing the cartridge head. Single shots tend to cope with unsized cartridges if reused in the original gun. The other issue is due to high pressure and temperature the plastic swells. Even on a single shot it gets difficult to chamber a hull that's been reloaded a few times, forget it for a slide action so budget on replacing the hulls after a couple of reloads.
  12. I use to work a 9m one. The thing would lift 250k at that too. I don't think 6m is long enough for my job so no need bob over ta ?. Enjoy the weather mate.
  13. Belting tool them merlo are. How much reach has it got? I need to cut some oak branches!
  14. Your not alone. I'm on a knife edge with my place. The gaffer honestly believes he is doing us a favour and that we all actually go to queue up for brown nosing sessions! He was furious yesterday because none of the welders are going in over the weekend. Sort the pay formula out then fool!
  15. Stop shooting them on the ground yer narna..... ?
  16. Thought I would change the brake fluid on my wife's car. I should of know it's going to go bad when I tried the first nipple and it snapped off. So I loosens the hose and went to remove the caliper....18mm....don't have anything 18mm. Spent next ten minutes digging out my imperial spanners to find a fitting spanner. That done I fill the easy bleed kit and connect to the brake reservoir. Only that when I pressured the easy bleed bottle I had forgotten to close the air valve! Within seconds I had the contents of the bottle of fluid all over the engine bay! I reversed my steps, put
  17. I can still get ammo. My local is also a petrol station ?
  18. Look at this handsome fellow. And what's he doing with my dog!
  19. It was, that's what prompted the snap ?
