  1. If the're coming into decoy's instead of racing they can't be much good to their owners, you'r only saving the owner the bother of ringing their neck's when they get home, probably about 3 week's late that's if they knew their way.
  2. I posted this before. Bob Palmer at Hornady, in an e-mailed reply to me: CCI makes the cases for all the .17 HMR ammo and loads it for the different companies. When they make the cases they draw the case out to a .22mag case that has a straight wall. Then the priming compound is put in the rim of the case. The case is spun to put the primer evenly in the rim. After the priming is complete the case mouth is reduced to the .17 caliber to hold the bullet. The reduction process, however, puts stress on the neck of the case. They obviously cannot anneal the neck of the case to relieve the stress because of the compound in the rim, so from time to time you will get a case that cracks. Some batches may produce more splits than others. The chamber pressure on .17 ammo is so low that it does not hurt the chamber on the rifle. They have tried to anneal the cases more before it's formed to .17, but this did not eliminate the cracks altogether. If the cracks were minor I would continue to use the ammo. The cracks do not affect the accuracy of the round and the brass is not reloadable.
  3. Stick it in the freezer for a few hours,this work's for glue and chewing gum, it hardens and you can just peel it off,it's worth a try.

    Sloes?

    Iv'e got Sloe Bushmill's on the go with a piece of ginger, but I had a chilli in the bushmils first to give it a bit of a hot bite,it should be ready around xmas,if it last's that long with me tasting it occasionally.
  5. What did I miss that made Wuzzy have a sulk.
  6. I like it with a sweet chilli sauce.
  7. Good for you i'd have a semi anytime before a pump,with a semi you just aim and pull with you'r trigger finger, no acrobatic's. :blink:
  8. Great pictures,you have definatly given him the gift of a lifetime,he has to be bitten by the shooting bug.
  9. Marlin vs, a bit heavy but amazing accuracy.
  10. I'll have nightmares after seeing that picture I hope my one dosen't come back to haunt me.
  11. Just got one and it takes my hide and poles, stool, latex gloves, and a roll of plastic bag's, + my decoy spring's, and there is still some room left,it seems to be great value the large zip migh be the weakest point.
  12. Any flattened area is worth a try.
  13. Iv'e never read such bull,i'd kill a grey squirrell by any mean's available, they are only furry rat's.
  14. I normally use Fiocchi 32gr 7s on pigeon but the last day I ran out and all I had was Eley Olympic Trap cartridges in 8s back in the car so I chanced them and found that I shot the pigeon's just aswell with them,needless to say with the difference in price as soon as I get out again i'll give them another go,i'm the fella that wouldn't entertain anyone talking about using 28gr cartridges before this.Give them a try, they might suit you.
