They don’t report every dog attack or drunken brawl in England either, that’s my point. They’ve jumped on a chance to post a negative story about shooting.
They do post international news also, but usually only the big stories. This certainly is not.
Very negative reporting on golf as well ,I think I might make a complaint.

A bit far from Newquay,and I think they are only open on Saturday but there is Sky High Shooting ground near Holsworthy,and Tatson shooting ground nearby.Bradford ground is open for practice on Tuesday from 2 pm,that’s near Holsworthy too,Sport trap,Skeet and DTL.
Apologies didn’t read post properly though you wrote Torquay .
-
Ashcombe shooting ground is worth a look I think they have a website it’s fairly near Torquay.

I would be pleased with that paint job ,painting sticks is usually how you end up ruining them nice job.

Talk to him .

Used it in lead wildfowling loads and it did make a difference. As I now load steel, and will try TSS, there is no need for it. Not sure about Bismuth.
I think it’s become obsolete with steel ,shame as I just found some Bsb and mix 47 at the back of a cupboard.
-
Does anyone use buffer in there homeloads , I did years ago for Bismuth but didn’t notice much difference when I left it out.

Laithwaites are very good and you can get a big discount when you sign up for first order and there is always a deal to be had somewhere.

They are as good as I’ve seen anywhere,I like using the collars sometimes it just puts a nice finishing touch .
I agree with you about the therapeutic side it’s a great way to empty the head for an hour or two.
Your thumb sticks using different wood tops is an idea I had thought about but not got around to ,top work.

Good condition, classic Winchester 3 inch magnum Blueing good woodwork sound ,fairly lightly used over the years .
Devon £300 Ono

Just had my renewal through and they now state that even if you are not at fault it could go up if something happens
That’s a ****** and unfair.

You will need to adjust slightly more packing than lead (11.3) or Tss (15.0).
If you are using BPI plastic TPS wads, I cut mine down to fit the load and then add a filler wad below to bring height back up.
Thanks for that much appreciated.

Not tested as such but....
BPI in 3 inch quote 14gr of lilgun and 5\8oz TSS 15 in Cheddites hull for 1215ftsec and 12650psi which is near top end.
11\16 oz 3" lead loads using 13gr lilgun come in at 13,500psi (which is top end) for 1135ftsec
2.5" lead 1\2oz loads using 13gr of lilgun come in at an average of 11500 psi for 1200ftsec
13gr would be a safe place to be.
Thanks for that Stonepark would that be the same as TSS 18 but with further ,more or less packing for load height ?
-
Was wondering if anyone could come up with any tested 1/2 oz tss data for a 410 I have Cheddite hulls and lilgun powder .
private message if you like ,many thanks in advance .

Yes it drives me mad ,also people that say “yes no “ what’s that all about ?

Thank you for the information I saw the post and the pictures that is amazing. As Gunman said I was unlikely to find much information on a small operation as Chamberlain. the Photo of his storefront with the employees/relatives' standing in front of his shop is more information than I expected. wonderful. A picture of the shop it most likely came from will accompany the gun when it passes on from my care and use. The new barrel sleeves were left with very tight chokes and a gunmaker i know opened them properly at my request so it may become my favorite woodcock chaser. Again thank you Matone and Gunmaker.(picture from 2018 post)
Wouldn’t it be great to go back in time and spend an hour in a shop like that .
Another E,Chamberlain for sale ,looks to be nice quality .
-
50 Eley lightening steel cartridges available free with this sale if picked up.
-
Both of your items are very hard to find and extremely reasonably priced I would say ,bet they don’t hang around too long, good luck with the sale .

Is there anyone on here who does the above, possibly in the south east (otherwise RFD charges a pain). Have bought a very reasonable Beretta 391 but stock could do with sorting at some point
Just whip the woodwork off and post it no need for Rfd.
Teal decoy probably decoration.
