[Ppu Ammunition Supplier]

Hi all.

I am struggling to find a local supplier of 223 ppu rounds. I live in mid wales, and my local dealers don't supply them. Does any know anywhere local to me where they are sold?

cheers

[Are the midland gun company autos good?]

I've had my Midland semi auto for 2 years now... it's only failed to cycle on three occasions. And I've fired a variety of cartridges, from BB's down to 28g 8's.. And a lot of them! It's gone months at a time without a strip down. Good gun I'd say. Only bad point is that it is quite a long gun.

the land i will be shooting on is hilly

[shotgun]

[GSP]

I have a GWP X Brittany Spaniel and hes very much like the pointer in respects to him ranging, as its said before thats almost bred into them to range ahead find its quarry then stay on point for the duration it takes to allow the guns/falconer to get in position.

 

to stop him goin forward what i do is do alot of work quartering so he still ranges but laterally rather than forward (if you get me). if this is problematic them use a long piece of rope to keep him in control and teachhes him to range only fairly close to you, in the feild this will proberly increase abit because of temptation but hopefully keep it within reasonable range.

 

thanks for the reply sterry........i will give that a go and see how i get on

cheers

[GSP]

Hi

When working my GSP either beating or rough shooting she works too far away from me, is there anything i can do to keep her working nearer to me?

[which to choose?]

Hi

Ive decided im going to start ferreting im going to get two ferrets but im not sure what to get jills, hobs or one of each.

Can you advise me please, pros cons etc, Also how much to feed? Ive already made a cage for them, is a locator essential or not?

help will be appriciated

cheers

[what PCP to get around £350-500]

you can fill it from a divers bottle or use a stirrup pump.........a standard compressor WILL NOT be suitable as it will not reach the required pressure of 200 bar.

 

as for the gun........you will be able to get a decent seccond PCP for that kind of money or even new depending on what you want....multishot etc.

 

visit your local gun shop and try a few for size...as people will reccomend certain guns that may not "fit" you.

 

and any filling adatptors will come the the gun.

 

hope this helps for now.

 

good luck and all the best

cheers for the quick reply, ill have a look sumtime this week

cheers lads

[new to ferreting]

Hi all

this season ive decided i am going to get some ferrets(2), but im not sure what to get,

a hob and a jill or two jills? ive heard that a hob and a jill are a good working team. if i do get a hob and a jill and i get the hob vasectaminsed can they be kept together all year? will two jills work well together? and would there be any fighting when they come into season?

 

any help will be appreiciated i thought it would be better to find out now and not the hard way

 

P.S how much can im get an locator and collar for, anything for £40-50 ish

cheers

help please

[out with the lamp]

it's a .22 , thanks for the comments guys

[which gun to pick]

i had the , 77ex and the 90 all very capable guns but it all depends on how much you want to spend and can your dosh spread a bit further for say a aas410 second hand about 300-350 these are a lighter and more capable gun also with the kit on weirauchs they are even heavier,think about carting one around for a few hours.

 

Hi for 300-350 does that include the pump,because iv'e heard that they are quite expensive?

cheers marco
