    Yep and usually full of crap too. I watched Tim Wells the other day spear a baited alligator. Now your talking ?

    Be outright them. What's a chuffing quad seal?

    Think they shoot upto 2&1/2oz the standard 10g?? Years ago I think there was a shorter chambered 10g. 2&5/8" rings a bell?? I think it was built around a standard 10g muzzleloaders performance. Then there was a 2&7/8", a 3" and a 3&1/4"!

    Just tell me how bad that first hmr was again? It sounds like it was really bad from here! I love wmr and could not accept that hmr could ever be near as good but I bit the bullet so to speak and have had to eat my own words. I do think hmr is better than wmr for what I do! To be honest, I've never heard anyone bad mouth 22 wmr or 17 hmr!

    Ben today I was only loading light. Muzzleloaders are very versatile so I was only loading with like a 12g load but when on the geese I will tip 2oz (56 gram). It lets you know then but it's not to bad. I to have never shot a breechloader 10g but understand they let you know when they have just been fired!

    I've shot about 100 plus crows, 10 pigeons and a squirrel since Saturday morning, Sunday morning and Sunday afternoon. 50 crows approx and 2 pigeons were shot by with my Pedersoli 10g. It has shot over 70 shots this weekend without a misfire and was when I cleaned it, as black as a crows arse! The icing on the cake would of been if I had used it on that scabby fox that windy Friday night! I'm yet to lamp a fox with a muzzloader!

    So.....what's the decision?
  8. Sausagedog
    Get them fox's Stav ?

    Good old Bert ?

    Some pinks were passing over this morning in North Staffordshire.
  11. Sausagedog
    Yes, only just been harvested. Its a special harvester that thrashes the kernels out of the cob. Have family duties so had to come away. They were still coming in ?. Then the pigeons started to arrive ? I'll go back tomorrow morning and afternoon if all goes well.

    23 crows before breakfast.

    They get dropped on this farm regularly. As soon as I get a message "the quad was up here last night" I go get it! Clearly a town fox. It never even looked at me squealing but was slowly making for the farm yard to scavenge. Its cruel really in my opinion.

    Caught snoozing under a hedge out of the wind and then got up and walked to me! 1&1/4oz #1s. An earlier fox busted me ?

    Took my Pedersoli 10g out today. Loading it with 1&1/4oz of #5 shot it downed a fast departing pheasant. I passed on the hens. A couple of crows and squirrels fell to it alas I missed a few crows and pigeon. I observed a male goshawk and a peregrin working the pigeons on maize stubble which was interesting. Also found small fallow slots! That's new for here! Made a fire and had a rest. Back out later lamping but I'm so tired now zzzzz

    My 452 liked the Winchester 20gn but I didn't like the dud rounds! So I went the hornady 20gn. For target shooting I believe most are getting higher than stated velocities from cci 20g fmj. Some have clocked 2600÷!
  17. Sausagedog
    Wmr is sound over 100 yds. 2-3" of trajectory or there abouts with 30gn to 40gn bullets. About 6" of hold will have you on at 150 or there abouts. I was using 20g in the hmr but when I got the 457 it didn't like them so I went to 17gn. I was worried about performance on fox but I needn't of been! I'm on at 100yds, about 2" down at 150 and -6"@200. It follows the hawk vantage reticle very closely. On a calm day I can shoot at small pebbles in the berm and get close enough to make it interesting! Furthest crow to date is 180 paces, and I don't mean ballet dancers tip toe steps!
  18. Sausagedog
    Wmr.
  19. Sausagedog
    I didn't dare say it. Its to early for abuse!
  20. Sausagedog
    357. Wmr. 357magnum is relatively cheap to buy factory ammo. Even the none expanding works. Wmr killed plenty for me at 100plus. And it's quaint, I mean quiet ?
  21. Sausagedog
    Yep, lots of folk have the gear but when it comes to getting off zee arse and getting out there they struggle. I do sometimes! But come a good session with some excitement and nothing beats it. Beats TV any way!
  22. Sausagedog
    It was the faffing that put me off Stav. No doubt a thermal device would let me stalk lamp shy but heck, most of them get sorted that pass through here anyway. I play the lamp shy ones differently anyway. Early morning or fresh cut grass on summers eves usually gets them.
  23. Sausagedog
    It's gone quiet so I better take a quick look about. There you go. done the proper way with a lamp! ?
  24. Sausagedog
    I get my cards from moonpig.

    Very reliable. Trigger wasn't outstanding. Took a lot of sear stoning and I had to drill and tap a grub screw into the trigger itself. Once that was done it was good.
