  1. Im not going to argue with you all, i cant be doing it at the moment. Im just trying to get some brass so i can shoot a little longer before i have to possibly give up all shooting stuff. if you wish to send me £28 then i will gladly take it and then still ask for some old 222 cases, because at this moment in time i havent even 28p. i have just over a 1/2 pot of benchmark left, 200 a-max and 100 v-max. so please do not have a go at me about rights and wrongs. Please. Phil
  2. If i can get 10 here and 10 there of the same then full length and trim then they will be fine. I'm not a paper puncher, i shoot rabbit, fox so as long as they shoot with in and 1" then they are fine for what i need. Plus the .222 if one of the most forgiving rounds there is for reloading. thanks for your input anyway. still looking for any brass gents if possible PLEASE PLEASE all the best Phil.
  3. two plates of metal, about 1.5" gap between. red wire to one plate and black wire to other. peanut butter on one plate. shocking idea. forget i mentioned it.
  4. mine does it on occasions, not as much now as she use to but then i think the clip around the ear holes helps towards stopping her
  5. i was just log in in to tell you there's a squirrel at the top of the stairs....Hmmm could be a song there some where. your misses said she has never seen you use the landing net because your rubbish at fishing, hence why the tags were still on the net.
  6. yes, but if people have odd cases kicking around then they will do the job as well. I did say if no one has any i will go buy PPU cases. recycle recycle recycle. so i keep being told Phil.
  7. any one have some 222 cases around. i have been given some but their a mixture but at the same time i dont want so sound ungrateful. but it all helps me learn about reloading. I have been loading my old PPU brass but it is all on its last legs now. i have a few bits of FC and WIN SUP. I like to be able to recycle so willing to take any brass in 222, at lest i make a batch then. thought i was ask before i go buy some PPU cases thanks for looking Phil.
  8. most toothpaste contain Potassium nitrate in varying levels. cornbeef and salami have it in as well to give the meat the pinky hue. but now i have read up a little more on it. tree stump remover and tobacco to keep and even burn. ummm! yer. anyone what a half used tube of sensodyne tooth paste Phil.
  9. also once boiled and cooled, i roll them on the worktop and brake the shell up a fair bit. once they have cooled the membrane seams to come away from the white a little easier. picked eggs is it sir. Mmm. picked egg and chesse'n'onion crisps
  10. January Celebrate New Year with your own sloe gin February Sloe gin and champagne for Valentines Day March/April Look out for the emergence of white blackthorn blossom in otherwise bare hegerows - and make note to return in the autumn for the sloes. May If you haven't done so already, remove sloes from last year's bottles. There is no benefit from leaving them in the gin for more than 6 months. Decant sloe gin and store in cool dark place until required. June/July Young sloes are very evident on blackthorn bushes if you look through all the leaves August Sloes acquire their typical 'bloom' and look good - but DO NOT pick yet! Allow more ripening time for best results September Make a bottle or two, but only if you must! October probably the best time to pick your sloes (but can depend on location).Traditionally you would only pick after the first frosts of the year. Sloes bottled now can be ready for this Christmas and New Year November Still a good month to make sloe gin, but a little bit late for this Christmas. December Christmas holidays are a good time start sampling the bottles you started in October. Christmas presents of your own sloe gin are also always much appreciated by friends!
  11. so you dont every shoot pigeon or rabbit then? both have a breading season but both still get shot all year around with little or no thought to their dependants. sorry mister but i thing its time you hung up your cartridge bag and go join the tree huggers as what you have typed is wrong. its shooters like yourself that looks down on other shooters. total and utter cobs wash.
  12. go on the dry side, if its to sweet then it may also be to thick but you can nip it down with more gin if need be so all will not be lost. i waited as long as i could before picking the sloes but the frosts didnt really happen so i picked in november and then pricked with a fork. i have bucket loads around me that no one picks. wonder if there is a market for them.lol.
  13. barbel can be great fun as some areas are loaded with them. same goes for carp and the cats. if you can get someone to load the river with soaked and cooked maize then its a good start, you will need a fair few days of baiting to get and hold the carp. barble come to the halibut pellets and you can fish it the same way as one would barbel somewhere like the river Severn. heavy loaded feeders with pellet hook baits. if your unlucky you will get wiped out bu a 100lb cat fish. we use to fish down stream 20 meters with heavy gear and a couple of 25mm halibut pellets just in case a cat came up the scent trail. if you dont like the idea of fishing the river then just take UK carp gear and fish the lake like you would do on and English lake. best of luck. Phil.
  14. its a common thing with pajeros and shoguns with super select. what you drop out of 4wd to 2wd and the lights are still flashing you can do one of two things. put into reverse and move a few feet, when putting back to drive the lights will go out. all i do is build the speed up and then take my foot off the accelerator. this works every time for me. i use to get the OD light flashing as well but i changed the switch on the top of the box and that sorted that out. pajeros owners club forum is a good place for all information on the shogun and pajero.
  15. After all he hassles you went through to get this gun as well. its a lot of good gun for not a lot of money. I hope it goes to a good home.
  16. I have just done this years batch of bramble whisky. not added much sugar as i want it on the dry side. 3/4lb blackberries, washed and drained. 1 liter of cheap whiskey 2 table spoons of sugar. same thing as you, in a kilner and shake daily. dont thought away the whisky bottle as once the liqueur has been decanted off in 6 months time, it can go back into the bottle. if i want to speed things up i just get the metal spud masher unto the kilner. i had to do this today to the cherry brandy as it wasn't taking on the cherry to well. still tastes good though. phil
  17. i was a little worried about getting one after all the dog owners i know had said that cockers are loopy. i need have not worried. they are spot one. they feed off you and the other people in the house, if your bouncing off the walls, shouting, kids running around screaming and shouting then they will do the same. if you keep a calm household the the cocker will fit in to this style. i have a 3 year old and a 16 month. the young one is loopy loo but has calmed down in the house. when out and about they have a high drive and work hard. the older one will do a 200 pigeon day and still want more. they respond well to how you want then to behave, if your calm then no worries
  18. you can take the stones out, split them open and then put the nut back into the gin/vodka/brandy/whiskey. it adds a nutty almond taste to the liqueur. if you want a deeper almond taste then toste the nuts first.
  19. thanks for posting this one up nick. I take it you cut though the film to keep the shape and then remove film just before before you put in hot pan. Phil.
  20. I dont like to much white on the neck and in no way will i ever paint them again with UV paint. when a pigeon is alarmed his/her head will go up and the neck bands will show up more so by putting big bands on your deks or even over stretching dead birds, you are putting out an alarm to start with so the birds that are coming in are already on guard. as for UV paint. i was hooked, i went and bought a bottle and painted all my deks. all 100 of them. now all i get is birds that jinx. we swapped mine for a friends that i flock coated that same time as mine but have no UV on and the birds came in. lesson learnt. if it ain't broke, dont fix it.. Phil
  21. fold neat, straight in to freezer as they are. take to dealer, get your money. 2p less for frozen.
  22. 250 in the 4 foot ones and 150 in the 3 foot ones. leave a little bit of room for air at the top. or you may find the birds dont freezer to well
  23. yep. totally agree. most of my farms are the same. i have no problem with it. i have to agree with cranfield we are all guests on the farmers land and if we don't show ourselves until crops are being cut or we try to push our luck then watch out as someone that will respect the farmer and sow up more will take the shooting from under your feet.
