  1. Loads according to Basc members,there's a dedicated thread on the SD about it I think?Last thing you want when lamping, bad enough in the day ,well not good at anytime really!
  2. The 40 gn .22wmr defo has more energy up to and slightly past 100yds.At the BASC open evening I attended alot of the audience reported the same problem i.e that the hmr was getting a round lodged in the barrel and if a second round was subsequently loaded and fired the magazine would blow out or indeed barrels have exploded!A theory as to cause is the powder in the case is being contaminated by water or oil and failing to burn.The primer detonating is enough to force the bullet into the barrel but no further!Then bang!Same scenario as 12/20 bore mix up!
  3. Possible swap on the Fowling but I'm a good way from you , down in Wales.Next Season for the fowling obviously!
  4. Lord I'm looking at properties up North, some top offers on here!Slange!
  5. I wish I was up your way,thats a great offer.I'vve been to Scotland many times ,great place!
  6. I've seen some bargain Bruno semi's on offer lately,they are 8 shot.
  7. I had a Heckler and Koch sem-auto in .22wmr it was mustard!Had a ten shot and two fifteen round mags for it.
  8. No there isnt, however the police are perfectly entitled to put whatever condition they like on your certificate,and yes it is fecking annoying,BUT demanding,breaching conditions ect is not the way forward,a polite assertive manner will get you a lot further,keep shooting your rifles,keep putting ammo through them and keep asking,presumably you have a mentor who has already signed you off as competent,so do your 12 months and get another letter from him/her stating that in there opinion you are now ready for an open certificate,ask for that,stating that you have satisfied their 12 month probat
  9. Are you thick' its costing 10 mill of the taxpayers money to bury the old hag while our hospitals are falling apart as are our roads and rail network. While the Tory c**ts are telling everyone to tighten their belts and this we are all in it together bullshite. They are saying we are skint but somehow find 10 mill to bury her in extravegance. It should of been a low key family affair on the QT in Grantham. Well technically not his taxpayers money, as He's in Eire,the Republic Of Ireland.In fact I'm rather bemused at his stance on Thatcher as when I worked in Eire she was NOT popular!!! I w
  10. There's nothing in the Home Office guidelines that even require you to have a Mentor.Its just that particular force trying to be clever.It just reinforces the point that you really need to be in one Shooting Organisation or another, to represent you when you get difficulties.It normally just takes a phone call from them and it'd be sorted.Full credit to Hunting Life for offering a good discount on membership of SACS.Join!
  11. My boy emailed me this,Soooooooo True!
  12. How tragic,without knowing the full details one can't really make any judgement as to whether safety etiquette was breached?The inquest will decide that I suppose?Really sad for all concerned.
  13. Its a load of TAT mate,aren't you in BASC or SACS or something.Get onto them if you are and they'll sort it out.They are just leading you up the garden path !,
  14. They do like to go to the outdoors though, even if it's quite often not theirs!
  15. Hmm ,must be plenty of food around that area,got to be arable farmland.Don't get antlers like that otherwise.
  16. Thatcher fell "Lucky" with the Falklands,her popularity was zero and she was sure to have lost in the following election.If Galtieri hadn't ordered the invasion she would have been stuffed.It wasn't her mates that died over there though,it was mostly lads from the Pit villages and Industrial areas that went there and won it!The very communities who she and her paymasters set out to destroy!Loads of lads from my area were on that Sir Galahad and many didn't come back, if they did many took their own lives ,through grief and depression, later on.No let her sychophantic ,brown nose followers pay
  17. So their paying for all the pomp and ceremony of the military too?
  18. Its a disgrace spending that on the "Wicked Witch " Ding Dong, Ding Dong!Let her Financier , Banker friends pay it, after all they've kept her in the Ritz for months!Its a steal for all the billions she made for them selling the National Assets for peanuts!Mark her son has millions let him pay,She managed to keep him out of prison after all!
  19. The HMR is alot flatter shooting and faster and more accurate..However, it can be prone to wind interference more so than the .22WMR,also the .22WMR has more energy in 40 gn bullets out to about 100yds.Here is an excellent link for you http://www.chuckhawks.com/compared_17HMR_22WMR.htm
  20. Thanks FDR hope your getting some use from it,I gralloched several deer with that!
  21. I've been in SACS before and found them easy to deal with.I don't know what the support/Insurance is like if you do get problems but was assured they have the resources to cover it if required,
  22. Good for you Malt,have to keep a bit of order, everyone's entitled to their opinion if posted in the correct manner!
