  1. Yeah its not uncommon my original sako 25 06 barrel had a long throat so to get the best from my reloads I had to load it singly when I had the rifle rebarreled I specified a short throat so I could get the bullet up to the lands and still use the magazine
  2. At guess the bullet flight time to 1300yds would be 3-4 seconds a lot can happen in that time those of experience will tell of missed fox etc that moved at the critical time and caused a miss and that is at acceptable range it should be remembered dinner plates don't move deer do if the shot went wrong could a follow up be taken and just how easy would it be to mark the exact point of impact should a wounded deer need following up all being considered I couldnt ever condone nor accept any reason to take a shot at an animal at such range.
  3. I guess the flo made a mistake then when he conditioned my 300 rem ultra mag for fox, deer, boar and aolq but then the ho guidance is just that guidance and not law P.s it really makes a mess of fox when 125 grains of nosler hit it at 3900fps
  4. The public have seen enough post dig photos of dogs with half their jaw hanging to never allow digging! Just won't happen chap.within a week of the licence coming out the freeads would be full of jackers lol
  5. After all these years of keepering if I'm given the choice between a nights foxing or spending the night with my nose up the wifes arse well lets just say foxy gets to live for another day lol
  6. Scotland's a beautiful country with a great history the more we can keep the f**k out the better, how can you be half Scottish lol your either Scottish or your not. Some lads just don't like the cold I suppose its something you've got to go out in if your keen enough, never phased me even as a kid but I suppose it separates the men from the boys. I can see the comparison though, hunting day or night in "bleak Scotland" as you put it with cracking views or in the dark not a streetlight to be seen or lamping at the back of a council estate in built up England, where the wind can't make yer wee f
  7. What would be stopping you from hiding some of the bag would be cause there aint a hope in hell the keeper would let you out there sight at 3 notes a rabbit in fact I'd activly help and encourage you lol
  8. I wonder how many folks on this thread have needed the fire service it's funny but after youve watched them cut your wife and kids from a car you get a new found respect for them and all the emergency services personally I don't think any off them are paid nearly enough
  9. Paint it pink and send it to lab lol
  10. Behave it is far from a fact that you need to spend over a grand for the reloading gear, lee do some good starter kits you could easily start for approx £200
  11. Keeper my f*****g big ginger hairy arse crack... Goal keeper maybe!!! Edit for accuracy lol
  12. Sheep and cattle panacur 10% is just fine for pheasants I have treated many thousand with it and never had a problem interestingly if selenium is a problem I best have words with my feed mill as all 50 tons ive used this year has had it listed on the product sheet
  13. Round here you dont need to see the lamp you can hear the dance music and peco exhaust on the scoob long before they get on the estate I guess they just all love the drum and bass innit lol www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljPFZrRD3J8
  14. I'm sure there'll be no new, groundbreaking or surprise info on here for any keeper or copper eh.... Kinda tongue in cheek and a bit o light banter I reckon..... Ain't life kinda serious at times.... And my post wasn't kinda tounge in cheek? f**k I wisk I could get they smilies to work lol
  15. even better when we can see your online and know its safe to go on............ Just hope I'm not on my phone then lol
  16. Gotta laugh a keeper gets every poacher on here to tell all there secrets you couldn't make it up lol
  17. Craig is good but connery is the best didn't really like skyfall its just a bit too diehard for my liking and the portrayal of the keeper at the end was laughable "nay master bond I dinea have any guns but I've a few sticks of dynamite"f***ing comedy gold
  18. I am not up with the law on terrier work in Ireland , but when i was younger and there were less restrictions on what we did with terriers , i would not kill every fox i dug or bolted , i wanted to test my terriers , and would release the vast majority , so long as they were healthy . You cant expect to find foxes if you kill every one you come across ! don`t you get what i am saying, sport is no longer an acceptable reason for either shooting or digging, justification is only possible with a firm reason, theres no way any argument for either terrier work or shooting could be won on the grou
  19. I'll never get folks If you have a problem with what the blokes doing go tell him aint no point pissing and whinging about it on here
  20. Life that will be the thing passing you by as you wonder how, what if or why.
  21. Did I miss something, which part of that comes as a surprise to you. The same can potentially happen with any calibre! Yep you missed something, it didn't suprise me in the slightest (seen the consequences twice before) others however in the original thread may have argued that a lodged bullet was nigh on impossible.
  22. Seems Charlie caller and the op where spot on then and a 17bullet can and will lodge in a barrel after a miss/hang fire
  23. Har har Pipsqueak get some scuba gear ruby its wet down there I hardly ever have to go down mate they're already frothing at the gash before i've got their knickers off! Or as a mate of mine puts it she's enough froth to shave 6 men lol
  24. I need to dream up a few courses like the BASC, charge people a shit load of money to teach them half baked theories about things I know nothing about and have not much pratical experience of. you want to learn anything, my advice would be, find a decent keeper or experienced hunting lad and ask them. you will learn more and better and it wont cost you a penny All the BASC are interested in is "running things" so that they can exploit the maximum amount of money out of it for the minimum amount of effort. Join the CA, NGO or SACS.....They are all useless but they just dont charge
  25. Could be off the mark but aren't 17s prone to barrel fouling if so does that not mean there must be more friction and more likelyhood of a bullet jamming after a hangfire?
