20g cartridge prices
Salop Matt replied to secret-squirrel's topic in Bullets, Cartridges and Reloading
I paid £65 a slab for the bast lot of Gamebore I bought and was very happy with them. But having said that my Gamebore Evo`s for the 12bore are £60 per slab. So not masses in it really. Buy at the thousand rate if you can if there is a saving to be had ! -
What Species Do You Enjoy Eating The Most ?
Salop Matt replied to marsh man's topic in Talk From The Field
For me its Mallard, I love it. Second is any venison. But I would like to try the different geese too ! -
I think it's RC's sizings as this year while loading I have had more RC cartridges not eject than any other brand. This is in Browning's, MK's, Berretta's and H&H (12g & 20g). They give good performance but seem to burn hot and dirty with occasional ejection issues. But this is just my observations.

Does anybody know if this place is still going and if it's still members only ? It was fully subscribed a few years ago with places like hens teeth. I really used to enjoy it there and haven't been in ages but it would suit me great for a Sunday morning round of clays. TIA Matt

150 yards if taking Heart and lung shots, 110/1120 yards for head shot. Loved mine. Had my .22lr 4 months and sold it, yes it was cheap to feed and quiet but the trajectory just didn't match the .17HMR and it gave so many ricochets regardless of backstops and elevated shots. I got shot of it. .22 FAC Air and the HMR covered all my pest control needs as I could take fox with the HMR. Already having the PCP charging gear the FAC Air makes it as cheap to shoot as its just the cost of a tin of pellets which are cheaper than .22lr so that has me covered for quiet area shooting above sub 12ftlb air rifle work. Go for the HMR, I wouldn't hesitate to have one back in my cabinet if I had the opportunity.

Sporting Clays and Game - Tightening up ????
Salop Matt replied to Salop Matt's topic in Guns & Equipment
Teague is the brand am happy with and sticking with and I will do it as a pair to save me starting to mess around with the selector which can be nearly as bad as faffing with chokes otherwise 👍 -
Folks, Apologies first for another choke question! I am not a choke twiddler and have Teague 3/8`s in both my barrels for all my clay shooting and the bit of game shooting that I do. How ever I think some of the more rangy stuff I may be missing out on a few kills and breaks with pattern failing/opening up too much, so am considering tightening up my chokes..... again, it will be a pair of the same for both barrels. But am torn between a pair of half's or a pair of 5/8`s. I belive its the clay ground I will see the improvements on as I only shoot higher birds once a year on my beaters day. Any advice / thoughts ? TIA

Looks like a Zetec Fiesta instead then !

What to wear for informal syndicate?
Salop Matt replied to AdamSouthEast's topic in Stalking & Game Shooting
Our DIY shoot is in formal and I wear a cheap pair of Moleskins, cheap check shirt and NGO tie, also wear a cap and a green Gillet (unbranded). Footwear either wellys or boots. I wouldn't wear camo or jeans. I believe no matter how big or small the day you should make some effort and respect the game and the land. -
DE razor user here DE89 from Edwin Jagger and TOBS cream. No blood or paper here just a cold rinse and an alum block to close pours and its antibacterial !

We are still looking. What is noticeable is the poor condition cars are in generally, can no one look after anything.😨 The Mrs drives 4 mile journeys 4 times a day. It's a killer for a diesel and our diesel golf isn't remotely warmed up in this short distance and rarely will she exceed 45mph. Am just anti: Peugeot, Citroen, Fiat and Vauxhall. Hate them all. So a petrol with 110bhp min is what we want and also the car must take our dog box for our dogs. ATB Matt

Back bored 12bore - Fibre Game Cartridge.
Salop Matt replied to Salop Matt's topic in Guns & Equipment
Browning B525 sporter 30" MC invector plus here. Teague 3/8 in both barrels. TIA -
Right it's well established that in a back bored gun fibre wads don't seal aswell as plastic wads. But which fibre game cartridges give the best gas seal? From what I've read the worse the gas seal the worse the pattern! Or is this not true? So dispel the gas seal / pattern results and or which cartridges seal the best! TIA
