    How far Dave? Got some legs on him hasn't he.

    You want to stop sucking rifle stocks no matter how tasty they may or may not be! Sometimes I really worry about you. Lol.

    After the first shot I switched ammo, adjusted the turret to zero, shot two rounds at a concrete post in a safe area at 100+. Good to go. I must of cocked it up on the second fox. My right eye has a stigmatism or something like that. It is quiet difficult at night to get the focus right. I have to adjust for nearly every shot these days and if I forget like at night sneaking up on Charlie I find myself struggling for definition despite an IR reticle. Feel like giving up to be honest and just take a look about with a shotgun. If it don't come in to a squeak let it be....

    The 50s don't like expanding much. Good if you want deep penetration but not much use in the UK except rabbits for the table. The other issue is they or this batch fill the mod with unburnt powder which IMO is a symptom of something not quite right! I noticed recently that clumps of unburnt fuel would partially obscure the center of the mod, that has to upset a following shot! It was worth a try I guess but for sure they offer nothing over the 40&30 grain offerings. Even the H 25gr NTX is better and that's entering savage mouse rifle territory. Federal needs to use a better powde

    An air rifle, once registered as requiring an FAC can not be returned to non FAC.

    Last night was a disaster! I missed two fox's! One a rested 100yds and one off hand at 70ish. I know I raved about these 50 GRN wmr by federal but with what looks like a CCI bullet when I first got them but just recently I noticed some velocity fluctuations. So I went to the old marl pit which is about 100yds wide and did some testing, it revealed a few things. First, the 50grn loads by federal contain low performing rounds, so much so a couple per ten can be low by 6" ! I shot the rest off and sure enough I decided I am best rid of them. I tested the hornady vmax and

    Operator mate.

    Well I don't know. I managed to get in range of two fox's last night via walking and lamps, then proceeded to MISS! So if I had spent a deposit on a house just to spot the swining things I would of hung myself last night! Rifle checking again later. I have no idea what went wrong but suspect it's an age thing!
  12. Sausagedog
    Well done stav.
  13. Sausagedog
    Exactly how it should be done.
  14. Sausagedog
    Should see some muntjack too. There was more dead muntjacks on slide o road than rabbits!
  15. Sausagedog
    Good for you Dave ? Not got any roe by me yet. Wish the muntjack would turn up, I could carry one of them out!
  16. Sausagedog
    Single or LP?
  17. Sausagedog
    I started with one of those kits but think it was called their 30th year! I got an RCBS 501 scales because they are better really.
  18. Sausagedog
    Don't play with your self while they are talking and take those photos of ewes wearing lipstick down! Oh and ask which is the best bullet for charging mice. In the bag mate ?

    If there is a lead ban I suppose the poor muzzleloader freak like me does not get considered!
  20. Sausagedog
    If they know......
  21. Sausagedog
    What's all this mumbo jumbo about Mr Packham and pheasants? What's the mumbo jumbo about Europe banning lead shot? Do I need to stock up? SD.
  22. Sausagedog
    What they up to now, stopping kids enjoying legit shooting? The government needs to set up a knife proficiency course for kids today not stop them from enjoying shooting!
  23. Sausagedog
    Its very tiring I found. Old man getting.

    Ok so it's not windy so thought I would give it a go. Two turns up on the turret. 6"X10" target. 30 shots including spotting shots for elevation and ten on target. Not to bad for an auto with not too fine a trigger and off hand.

    I had many years ago a box of ICI ammo. Think it was called '100' and that was very accurate. I was also given some Canadian ammo dated 1942. May of been called Dominican(?). That was copper cased and shot very well too.
