  1. Small game....he said small game earlier. ?
  2. Can you get 140g? A fox will run a good ways with fmj across the lungs. I know! Fmj work well backwards. Hornady xtp work well, can you get them?
  3. I wouldn't like to shoot a roe with a 357 110g. Very messy! A nice 158g soft point for me. And for beaver. My favourite full power powder was Alliant 2400. Alliant shotgun powders for squirrel and rabbits.
  4. On sunday I went to look for a rabbit. Nothing! I couldn't understand it. Then came a family of walkers and their rampaging dog! Then another group with a semi wild dog terrorising wild life. AND IM THE CRUEL ONE!!!
  5. I move in on them when I hear them or listen for a rout they run on.
  6. Weather changes after Wednesday. Winds from the north. I'm hoping it kicks the fox rut in.
  7. Take care buddy. ( I don't visit here often).
  8. Well I've been off work today with bad gout. Eventually I hobbled my way to a local estate that has not released any birds this time due to covid but have been putting wheat out. The squirrels are huge. I only got a few and hobbled back to the car. Found some deer prints, possibly roe. Drinking that much water I'm peeing like an old dog! Looks like I cant touch gin now also! Bumped into this young hare pinching wheat
  9. Never known a Wiehrach not shoot a bizzie mag!
  10. I've warned you about using brut before stav! If you had slipped and fell over it would of been up ya in a flash and a trip to a&e in order!
  11. Nothing to it. Tip some powder in from a measure, not the flask! Add some form of wadding. Use the same measure for shot. Stuff something down to hold it in. Keep the flint sharp, I use a brass rod. Jobs a goodn.
  12. What does the grouse taste like? How do you cook them.
  13. It was a nice afternoon down here. Me and my dance partner had a blast. Bess Brown is her name.
  14. I hope the tractor didn't damage anything......by accident of course.
  15. Excellent story si. You get a ten from me ?
  16. In warm weather the lube stays soft in the chamber. In cooler weather the firing heats the thin brass. That melts the lube for a split second. The cold chamber freezes the lube again and forms a weak bond to the case. The usually weak extractors on 22's cant cope with that bond. We live in a temperate climate so eley have traditionally stuck with their wet (relatively) lubrication. In colder climes manufacturers stick to beeswax mixtures. It can be applied thinner and stays on the bullet only during cycling. That's how I understand it.
  17. Got seven more first light back of the farm. Its difficult to get it right but nailing them is one of my shooting highlights.
  18. Don't fall for it Stav, your being set up for cold shoulder mate!
  19. Well there is that.....but at least I can just get grumpy with myself! And I can talk to myself!
