    Lead Shot Ban, in news again

    PVC produced until recently also contains lead. Some reports (google) say that leaching levels are greater than from lead pipes 😵‍. Could be expensive for home owners.  The trouble with giving it to the HSE is that I guess that their risk assessment will come down to it is safe or  not. If...

    cost !

    I have a second car which the MOT has run out and needs a bit of work doing (when I get time). Been offered worth more than I paid for it 2 years ago when was fully roadworthy. That's nuts.  Makes you wonder where all the money is coming from.  House prices rocketing etc.  Sat in a local  Cafe...

    WOW

    They say we only import 3% on our gas. It seems mad to me that we pay the price set on the open market for all of it.  Why not pay a rate that is in relation to production cost for the gas that comes from British production and top up with the more expensive stuff from abroad if we need it.  We...

    Wanted Beretta 682 Gold E Stock

    Have a look at the beretta  estore. Prices are reasonable and delivery is quick in my experience.

    Is your gun a tool or something you worry will get damaged?

    Reminds me of something Peter Allis said while commentating on the golf  Masters.   He was talking to a player about if he had a standard club selection or something different.  The told him he took 2 drivers around the course. One that he hit straight and a "hooking" one.   He said at least...

    Berretta 694 problems

    It's a shame because I shot a 692 one at a demonstration day and it was the best shooting gun on show.   The reputation (In my mind undeserved as there are other guns with more problem s that haven't been as publicly discussed)  means that they are a bargain on the second hand market.

    Manuel Ricardo Stocks

    Yes. 🤬🤬  Although it's probable a low priority to almost everyone else who's having to deal with the wider consequence of leaving the EU.  At least we can buy Meat and sweets labeled in pounds and ounces and we get a pint logo on our beer glasses again.

    Beretta SL2 release

    Yes, the K80 makes the MX8/HT look like a bargain too.

    Beretta SL2 release

    Wow..  I'd have thought £7 to 9k at most for a post release gun.  Makes the  proven  MX8/HT look like a bargain.

    Another price increase

    And National insurance. People having to start to commute again. Service charges such as TV, phoneand Broadband (9%) announced  this week. The List goes on.   The only hope is that we get the rock  music from the 70's back.  Party on.. 🥳

    Newer to Clay shooting. Advice for dealing with injury to dominant eye.

    I suspect you will need  to cover your dominant eye. But as above seek a coach or someone who can see you and advise. Shooting from the other shoulder will feel unnatural for quite a while even with covering the eye.

    New year blues

    🤣🤣🤣. Next championship final I think if say RF, GD etc are 5 targets up after 20 of 25 they should stop the shoot.  Put the one they want to win to get a new name on a trophy as having the same people keep winning is a bit boring on the same score and make the others shoot with a 410 with rice...

    Guntrader for first gun

    I presume you mean get a gun sent yo a local rfd. Bear in mind it will cost you £60+ even if you buy it or not. it's a gamble on what actually arrives is in the same condition as described.  Have a day out. You can go a long way for the same cost in fuel and get sorted properly.  I see your in...

    Speeds.

    I think they must be some old rules. For a while they were pretty much the same. However they slowed ABT up a few years ago to 70m I think. PHILR will know the details.

    steel chalenge

    Due to the way shot sizes are defined it's not a straight forward just replace x number of x type shot with y number with y type. The wisdom is that 2 shot size increase in steel is required to match lead. I can't find a 5 1/2 steel shot size.  I'm no expert, it's just what I read from the...

    steel chalenge

    It would be interesting to see an experiment that would show what load would be comparable in not only shot size but weight of shot required to keep the pellet count to get the same density of pattern.  From the tables I've seen of the pellets sizes, weights and counts per ounce, if you go up...

    Another price increase

    From the homeloads I've ever seen, believe me they are not difficult to spot.

    DT11 steel shot proof?

    Are both barrels sporting barrels with 3" chambers and multi choked? As I understand it.  Fixed choke trap barrels with 3/4 & Full won't generally be steel proofed.Also Trap barrels with have 70mm (2 3/4") chambers. They  are not very likely be used for Geese at 60 yards so never likely to...
