I have some A-Zoom snap caps as well, but the "primers" have holed pretty badly with very little use. I dont think they will cushion the strike of the firing pins much now. I only used them to let down the hammers on boxlock and sidelock guns. I normally dismount the barrels now, and snap the locks against a piece of horn, then reassemble. I know. Some dont bother but reckon its best on guns that are very old! Best, R. Ps, just got another breed of snap caps in 16 bore that seem to be holding up well, but cant remember the name off hand!

That definitely wasn't me !. They definitely didn't look like the aliens from the Cadbury smash advert !. And they definitely didn't have two foot long probes ! .

He's finished tinder , and moved on to tinder mom's 😳.

I have those snap caps for the same purpose. the only criticism I have is that the edges get burred over quite quickly sadly

Yes, it’s a Ruger 77-17, also got 150 ammo, just got to put a scope on it, only problem is ruger mounts.

Of course that is the main thing 👍 Noticed a lot of that recently

Proce drop. £775

I thought it was a song by Kate Bush 🤦🏻‍♂️

So are these classed as a trike?

I have messaged about the Viper

i have a set of cast iron frying pans....think i will have a go using one of them.....have used tyhe small one to do toad in da hole and it worked well.......and doingtthe cottage pie i could finish it off under the grill...... one for next week maybe................i think MM is goingto do one as well

I have trouble with this as well. Too dry or so wet it bubbles up all over the mash. Can’t seem to judge it right.

It’s the emissions that worry me

Impressive write up there! I do see what your saying... So find a cartridge that works for you and your gun....

Ahhhh, fair one! Ill keep an eye out for people going to that

As an everyday comparison look at how some sort called locksmiths keys look when they cut one from your "master" to how a key cut by a proper locksmith will look. Why? Because the el cheapo locksmith lets his machine run on longer before renewing and replacing the parts that wear. Indeed we have maybe all had a key cut that when we get back home either doesn't work at all or feels rough. Because it hasn't been replaced when it was worn. Cartridge loading equipment is the same.

😂😂😂

That looks good , i do like a good shepherd pie 👏👍

I used to handload pistol cartridges (I use this example for a reason I will explain) back before the Tory handgun ban. These used "lead" bullets. So my use of this as an example. My lead bullets I cast commercially using pure linotype and bespoke Hensley & Gibbs moulds. Weight variation from bullet to bullet of a nominal 120 grains was never more than +/- 1 grain. Some bullets you sampled from other home loafers were widely varying in weight, in metal composition of the alloy and thus variable harness and variable amounts of leading they would leave in the barrel. So the biggest variation from shotgun cartridge maker to maker is the quality of the shot. Soft shot leads barrels and abrades as it gets fired. It also crushes more easily. This means it does not pattern as well as harder shot. Shot hardness is achieved by using antimony. That is expensive. So expensive and better graded shot patterns better. Shot is graded by sieving. As the sieves are used they wear. Thus old sieves allow shot to pass as a #8 that actually is nearer a #7 1/2. Those of us old enough will recall Eastern European cartridges where there was shot like a bag of "runts" sweeties. All shapes and all sizes! Next are wads. Eley so called fibre wads in 1980s Grand Prix Thames board or similar to builders' plasterboard. Cheap. Best wads were always wool felt. Indeed my late father who could have afforded any cartridge he wanted used Sellier & Beloit Mk Ii as it was a better wad even if brown felt it was still properly greased felt. Finally powder. Some powder gives more velocity per grain in a charge at the expense of not being as clean burning. This is the single base v double base argument. Double base powders are more efficient but more expensive but burn cleaner. So we have all see nice clean bored after fifty shots vs filthy dirty leaded bores after a similar fifty shots. So while brand X may to throw 28 grams at 1400 fps and brand Y and brand Z the same there's more to it than that. And that "more to it" is the quality and consistency of the pellets more than anything else and next the amount of fouling left in the bore which, I would argue, is down to wad and powder quality. But shot is the biggest variable

As long as the piston still creates some compression it should be good to go, if it it doesn't try the overdrive button.

I did put a modicum of chilli flakes in it! It would have still been tasty without though.

just have a rest.......(for all of us)

Pretty sure you've completed tinder twice now mate.

i dare not post the picture of one of my bitches....
