  1. canvas and leather net front game bag,rubberised inner,used once only,cost £85 sell £55 posted
  2. Reloads was a very dangerous bit to leave out,surely you would agree!
  3. show me where you mention reloads in the post i quoted,very dangerous to say "lightning steel through 70mm chambers",lightning steel is 76mm,you would have not corrected yourself if i hadn't of pick you up on it,!🤪
  4. show me where the word "reload" is??,eley dont sell reloads,and you put lightning steel through a gun with 70mm chambers??
  5. The Lightning steel was advertised to do 1650 fps, in tests it came out at 1373 fps and others say it does not reach the advertised velocity.
  6. there's a place for everything,no need for tin hats,just return fire
  7. https://gamebore.com/uk/cartridge/game/12g-super-steel-game 12g Super Steel. This high velocity Steel load is suitable for use in standard 2 ¾” chambered guns in shot sizes 4 and 5. The larger size shot 3 should only be used in high performance steel shot proofed guns with barrels and chokes designed for steel loads.
  8. so what's the problem with Packham and his buddies shooting their mouths off about shooting??
  9. so if next week an anti lead shot group said they wanted lead banned asap then how could BASC defend it and say we want lead for another 5 years?, BASC has agreed with everything the anti lead groups have said ie toxic to humans,poisoning wildlife etc,?
  10. so if no one is calling for a ban why look for alternatives to lead?? are you going to use lead for the next five years?
  11. ******,that was going to be my next question
  12. don't worry,there will be more next year
  13. like i said,always got some sort of answer! how can the BASC guy say that a certain cartridge is ok for the occassional crow and that was 34g steel,if it's ok for 1 crow surely it would be ok for more?
  14. like i said previously,you have always got some sort of answer! you could have said the Basc guy is talking bull**** and i would have agreed with you 100%,sorry but you missed your opportuntity
  15. well this is what what a BASC employee said ; "I first started using steel for the same reason as most: because I had to if I wanted to continue going wildfowling or duck flighting. In recent years, I have to say that factory-made steel shot has improved beyond recognition – so much so that I have no hesitation using it for other forms of shooting too. I now use it exclusively for all my squirrel control, and as it patterns tighter than lead, I can get away with using a lighter load with large pellets and still feel like I’m throwing a dinner plate at my quarry rather than a dustbin lid. I find a 32g or a 34g load in 3s perfect for the squirrels and more than capable of sorting the occasional carrion crow too." most 34g steel are superior steel proof cant be used in most sxs game guns Should we believe everything we are told by BASC or their employees https://basc.org.uk/steel---more-than-a-glance---innis-finlay/
  16. others are not so optimistic as you!, what i said about "I find a 32g or a 34g load in 3s perfect for the squirrels and more than capable of sorting the occasional carrion crow too." came from an experienced shooter,should i not listen to this advice?,
  17. i don't think these are heavy enough from what i've been told,
  18. of course,they will be more expensive once lead has gone,what else would we use??
  19. here are lead alternatives,look at the prices and yes lancer425,i know shooters can reload!
  20. why is Lead "the lame horse"?,is it because it's going to be banned when no one is calling for a ban(so you say)?? how did i find out that EU countries did not want game shot with lead??,BASC PERHAPS told me how did i find out that Waitrose did not want game shot with lead??,BASC PERHAPS told me
  21. i did say that you always got some sort of answer!
