Thanks mate

Hi all , I have just started loading my own shotgun shells for wildfowl, I have loaded for the rifle for a longtime, and I have shot wildfowl for along time , but I bought my shells for this . I retire in spring so I have time to experiment with it, I have got fascinated with the tss shot and steel . ( not out of choice) but necessity. I picked a mec loader up last week and want to put some recipes together for my sx4 , I know there’s loads of stuff on utube , but I am looking for load data for steel shot , and any pitfalls that I might face , most of the wildfowl I shoot are inland on

Hi has anybody got any advice, on where I can get hold of some decent load data, for shotgun steel shot loading, wildfowl loads ??

Don’t blame them mate ,

Hi can I ask , if anyone uses the 30.06 for roe , or other species , I have fired one years ago, and fancied one as a second gun , well I have decided to put a variation in next yr at renewal time, but I thought I would ask and see what bullet weights other people use , I know they can kill , that’s not in question, I shoot red and roe mainly, with a 6.5x55 , I just do not like waisting meat , and the large variety of bullet weights appeals to me, so if anyone could share any good or bad points on the calibre, would be appreciated.

I have looked at clay and game , they have a good website, as I was going to buy a 20 gauge reloading machine, I may give them a call and see what they have to say.

Hi anyone got any high seat plans ,they will share, I am looking at building a few single seat ones , I see people on YouTube building them, but wanted to get hold of some plans.

Hi Phil pot , I spoke with Sadlery and gun room , they say hushpower 20 gauge will take a 1/2 choke , but the 410 will have to be reemed out to half choke,

Your description of sparkies and plumbers is spot on , I may have someone now fingers crossed , I have always said I want it done , however they just show no enthusiasm , it’s an old pub a big old spot, and we have an elderly mother in law living in , so we would have to work around her so to speak , most of them start by we are very busy , so I do offer they do it in stages , I have offered cash , ( in truth I have had it with them ) this guy has been open he said I have work until autumn this year , I will come and see you then , he did an emergency job for me , came 08:00 in the morning a

Hi can I ask if any of you , make duck nest tubes ??? If so any advice on them ie what’s the best way to do it ???

Hi I know this topic will be done to death , around normal shotguns , and maybe I have missed it about the smaller stuff, I know calibers below 243 will not be effected in rifles , at least there’s some sense come through , I have, and use 2 hushpower mossbergs one in 410 and one in 20 gauge , I know the 410 has a full choke , and as yet I have seen no 410 cartridges loaded with steel , and in truth I hope they see sense and don’t force it onto small shotgun calibres , my 20 gauge has a full choke and I am reliably informed , that that choke can go down to half , without aff

Bloody long way from Cornwall , it’s good to see there’s a odd one down there though,

Good to hear, another lefty , I struggle with modern airguns most are right handed, not ambidextrous.

Thanks piano man for your advice, I have never come across a springer on FAC , and I never would have thought they would be that smooth shooting, as some springers under 12 ft ld , can jump badly, I have a couple here that I really like to shoot, and are very accurate, but they are Sub 12ft , I suppose it sits with the quality of the gun, and how well it has been tuned , more food for thought.

Thanks for that Phil, that’s really helpful , I may drop you a message next time I’m down at Reedness , but I do think I am going to be buying one at some point, any info on the HW100 in FAC ?
