    Been tempted many times myself. How much are they? I forget....

    It's in Welsh Meece!

    Well actually many would argue I am a loon but I'm ok with it ?

    I don't get a couple of things here. The lady says the copper and brass bullets are turned on a CNC lathe....expensive! They need swaging to keep long term costs down. Secondly, 22 uses a heeled bullet and uses soft lead to offer some obturation to the barrel and seal the gasses behind. There was no mention of this. Sealing the bullet in the bore of a low pressure cartridge is fundamental to efficiency and efficiency is paramount with a heeled bullet design. One can not simply increase pressure to overcome inefficiency! In my opinion they would of been better streamlining a

    I had a Winchester 69a. It was designed to handle any size 22 from the magazine. It was fantastic with what ever I put in it but the CB ammo is for the garden only really. Barn pigeons too.

    Bullet mate....not head. The head of a cartridge contains the primer.

    There use to be high velocity shorts and longs with 26-29gn hp bullets. They were far from useless and we use to use them easily to 80yds.

    The only other minor point is....well they ain't semi....they are permently rigid really....just saying.
  9. Sausagedog
    Is it heavy I thought they are heavy?
  10. Sausagedog
    The older long recoilers can be damaged by too heavy a cartridge being used. Like the old Franchis and Browning's. Pretty much all modern made autos are safe for handling heavy cartridges now. Gassers have automatic gas regulators so they can hold lock up a fraction longer and inertia types simply benifit from the extra inertia locking them up by default.
  11. Sausagedog
    No mate. Some of them just won't cycle them but most cycle the lighter shells just like the gassers. It's an interesting design. Initial recoil force aids lock up at peak pressure. Residual pressure then cycles the action and not much is needed to achieve that.

    £5.....will it run the car....smells like it would. You lads watch you get tied to a rampant dog fox, you won't be grinning then!
  13. Sausagedog
    Old spice and Brute ?
  14. Sausagedog
    It's exciting when they are that close. My favourite foxing day or night is when they are close. Well done lads. It's got some nads.....the fox I mean.
  15. Sausagedog
    Excellent photos ?
  16. Sausagedog
    Funny that, my Mrs has a keen eye for tit spotting! No you won't....your Mrs crimped your nads over the 22/250! Yeah, I remember! The Fabarm is impressive indeed. I recon you could drive a tractor over a Remington versamax but boy they are heavy!

    Hatistani..................................what?
  18. Sausagedog
    Just promise me you won't go bog swamping in this one ok!
  19. Sausagedog
    I see poaching is still paying well Oop there!
  20. Sausagedog
    YouTube it Phil. ?
  21. Sausagedog
    Nice shooting. What other ammo can you get your way?
  22. Sausagedog
    Good man, the gin I mean. You can keep the playing with yourself in front of a mirror to yourself! ?

    When it came out I was harvesting rabbits every week through winter and was convinced it would make a better bunny gun than a 22 but I didn't bother. I think many didn't bother. Keeping a 22 and going to hmr. It never took off. I think ammo production has stopped too
  24. Sausagedog
    But not 1200-1600 FPS. Just to add another angle my 357 cost about £350. With that I use to load ammo from 600fps to 1700fps. The risk of leaking seals. Bottle testing and high pressure pumps will never trump the above unless the cost drops significantly. I get how a sub 12 is useful and safe but the fac options are close to a 22 subbie now so the safer option advantage is lost making it an unecassary option! Even if one is an accuracy addict target 22's and match ammo abound.

    Well I'm waiting for Stavs report but this poorper got #29 pheasant and #3 woodcock. I messed up on pheasant #30 but found him twice with my dog and twice he flew strong so he may be ok all be it my name will be mud every time he sees me!
