  1. All my permissions have given good results on standing barley, stubble, potatoes and carrots. Stubble is best. Now the farmer on one of my best fields has planted OSR. I know plenty on PW shoot regularly over it but I've never done it. So some basic questions...

     

    1. I live outside Belfast, to give you latitude, the OSR is about 6 inches in height now. Is it worth decaying now?

    2. When it's in yellow flower is it worth setting up?

    3. When it's cut, can you treat it like barley stubble.

     

    Keeping an eye on this field, I see a few pigeons in and about the trees, but nothing feeding on the crop and definitely no flocks. Is it too early just.

  2. Cilit Bang is wonderful. Put brass in a bucket and spray with CB swirl it around and watch it make the brass gleam, but, don't leave it for any length of time, as it begins to do funny things. It's great. Also try this, put several handfuls of your brass into a pillow case, put the pillow case, knotted, into the normal wash cycle. Don't be tempted to do it without the normal clothes load. No effect on the machine or the clothes. Hard to beat the steel pins though.

  3. Gaep is good kit. I make slug rounds using it on a pedestal drill from Cromwell...about £70. On its lowest speed it makes a perfect rollover. I use a smear of 3 in 1. Folkestone is a good guy. It's all about the wad,card and disc to bring it up a height the roll crimp can deal with so play with that.

    I use 20.4 grs of Vectan AS, on the recommendation of my dealer. It's accurate and works well. The case is pre primed and has an OAL of 62.70 mm. when complete, using a 7/8 Lee slug.

  4. The police assess a threat by looking at the people who occupy the house, not just the FAC holder. Many never think of this but it's how the police see it. It's not unreasonable to check this. Police can be unreasonable though and sometimes try it on, hoping you will fold, so, as someone has mentioned, getting it in writing will give a policeman pause for thought. My shooting buddy had a particularly difficult evening: his father died of a heart attack at home. The police turned up wanting to remove his firearms. He had the presence of mind to go ballistic. They backed down.

  5.  

    I was told by one FeO that I had got too many and that I had got a lot by another. I told both of them that if you had one it didn't matter how many I had.

    Quality and quantity is best.

     

    No FeO that has visited me owned a gun, so to them, 1 gun is too many, and 3 guns is a mindblower. 'What do you want 3 guns for' is the response.

  6. Watched it being done on a range. It works just as the video shows, but, and I don't know how, the last shot left a wad in the semi auto barrel. The guy shot about 4 or 5 cut cartridges for fun then one more. Just by chance we looked down the barrel and there was the wad. Do it once if you must but check the barrel after.

  7. It's a good question. I use mine for Cowboy Action with very downloaded .357 and for Cowboy it's very accurate. I sometimes practice from 50 yards and it still good. If I loaded a grain or 2 more Titegroup I'm sure it would take a fox easily, for both accuracy and stopping power

  8. I think the Lee Pro 1000 can handle .223 so you can grind out loads of rounds with a degree of accuracy, but it will make a lot of stuff. It's a progressive press. Our American cousins do it that way but that's for the like of 3Gun. If you want accuracy, single stage is the only way. And, as others have said, it's a hobby in its own right. Pistol and revolver ammunition made at home saves money, especially .40, .45 cap and cowboy calibres, but rifle not so much......but a great pastime.
