  1. Neck vertebra from deer are fantastic dog chews; Red deer last a month +.
  2. Case length Powder Grains Wad Primer Shot Grams 3 " 40 Gualandi LBC CX2000 37 RTO
  3. I use a T3 for all my loads; 24g with AS, to 42g with CSB0. It puts a nice radius on the front for when I use the auto and produces consistent pressures and speeds. I also seem to be able to reduce my loads by 0.5-1.0 grains compared to what's suggested on available data.
  4. Many were not put on DVD. I remember him building a punt, which is not on the DVDs
  5. Case length 70. Powder AS 21.1 grain. Wad Spark. Primer CX2000 Shot 24grams. Crimp closure. Av Fps@ 2.5 1357. Ave bar 504 I got these figures with a 24 gram load of AS if it's speed you're after. I use 200 of these every week. OAL 57.15mm. Crimp rolled with Gaep tool for slow burning powders (fairly aggressive roll)
  6. I'll take one of the Buffalo River bags, the 100 litre rucksack and the FUDS please
  7. I'll take one of the Buffalo River cases and the 100 litre rucksack, please advise on postage.
  8. Yes, it is. It's the same as my GAEP. They are excellent
  9. Steel or lead? If it's steel, try compressing the load before crimping. I use a bolt which I grind down to JUST fit in the wad mouth and then cut and grind the shank so it fits inside the MEC powder and shot drop tube. Place the modified bolt on the dropped shot (head down) and press down with the handle. Shot is squeezed down. Make sure ALL the shot is inside the wad, especially if you are cutting down LBC 53s for 37grams in 3" Add a cork overshot wad. Lightly oil the outside of the case around the roll area with your fingers. Apply RTO. If you do this you should be able to find out if you are up against the wad and this is stopping your RTO from forming correctly. Or, is it the shot load that is too long and causing a crease between the end of the shot and the RTO. The compression trick with the bolt should sort out the load problem and a trim with scissors should sort out the wad problem. Let us know how you get on.
  10. Jer Bird at Bird's Clay and Game, near Castle Eden World class shot, good coach https://www.facebook.com/pages/Birds-Game-Clay/199568626894642
  11. I remember episodes where he was building his punt, which I believe was later stolen, and another one where he came across someone in a green lane, herding sheep with a working Old English sheepdog.
  12. High scorers. Adjustable (if you want) to lift glasses to look like they're upside down. Chris Potter guns
  13. Surely the families would want them,rather than letting them get stuffed
  14. Three tips that could save days of frustration. Many thanks
  15. The 'BruKit' arrived half an hour ago and I've taken a quick look. The paperwork says: Manufacturer Yongkang Fire Maple. Model FMS-X1. It has piezo ignition and is 1500W. I'll have to get a gas canister for it and try it over the holidays
  16. I've ordered one today. I'll give it a go this week and re-post here. Frank
  17. For those that need something like this, try the 'BruKit' https://www.alpkit.com/cookware
  18. I'll take the Bergan and pulley please. Please advise for postage costs.
  19. I would recommend a .410 or a 28 bore to start with, using very light loads. While everyone is correct about the recoil in the short term, holding the weight of the gun is the problem that I have found when coaching. Using a gun that is too heavy will produce a 'lean back' to counter the weight of the weapon. The student then continues to use this 'lean back' long after they have developed the core strength that would allow them to stand correctly. You can see people who have trained on a gun that is too heavy at every club shoot. Look at the line of their heads and spine in relation to their hips. It's a nightmare to correct, (and expensive, if you're paying someone to correct it) I know .410 and 28 bore are expensive to use, however, they shouldn't be on them too long. Work on the correct posture when coaching them and move them up to 20 or 12 only when they can hold the gun up without any 'lean'. Dry training in the house is cheap and effective and allows you to watch for problems before they become ingrained.
  20. I use these for Olympic Skeet, the are excellent and very adjustable. Yes, the spelling is wrong, but the address is right. http://www.gun.co.uk/shop/shooting-glasses/high-scorers-shooting-glasses-three-lense-set/
