  1. £10 a kilo more than normal stuff though .It would be useful if they had a picture to see how uniform it is .I have just found a picture online of copper coated bismuth and it was still very mis shaped .
  2. some Tps wads occasionally come up on auction sites .
  3. Presumably chamber not barrel ?
  4. Can anyone tell me what this no 1 mark stands for on an Aya 12 ga supposedly a number 3 .
  5. Very thought provoking article ,plenty of work to do there by the looks of it .
  6. You clearly have a problem with the facts on disposal of the bags ,as pointed out by several on this forum as well as myself ,i have stated i have seen dumped Pheasants you continue to insinuate i am a liar ,to be honest i am a little offended by this . I will end my involvement on this thread after this post as to be honest i am fairly difficult to offend but you have succeeded in doing so ,so well done you .
  7. Explain” odd take on things” ? …..i stated what i shoot i eat ,simple isn't it ? there is no problem ,i would not choose to eat someone else's rotting Pheasants would you ? I did not say i had seen birds dumped , i said i had myself found dumped Pheasants yes myself not second hand story . You have never once seen birds dumped ………and ?
  8. I have no wish to solve there problem for them ,what i shoot i eat thats the only shooting i am comfortable with ,barring pest control .
  9. checked to see if any were edible ,then reported as fly tipping.
  10. To be fair Scully i have probably made too sweeping a statement concerning commercial shooting ,caught in the trap of believing every story i read about bags being dumped etc i cant be specific nationally but have seen it locally with my own eyes . As with everything there will be some super ethical well run shoots and some awful ones who persecute raptors and dump game, sadly we all as shooters ,hunters, call us what you will ,we will all be judged by the worst standards by the non shooting public .Wild-fowlers are the same some ethically perfect tainted by the behaviour of a few skybusters .I know of one chap travels to Scotland several times a year to shoot geese stays up to a fortnight then drops the majority of his bag into a hunt kennels ,he wont eat them and cant give 20 plus away but they all get eaten ! right or wrong ? who am i to judge. If offence was caused with comments about commercial shoots i apologise as it wasn't intended .
  11. Thanks Konor ,that makes it clear ,seems most of the issues are caused by commercial large shoots anyway ,most cant seem to get rid of the bag regardless of being shot with lead or non toxic ,so if not used in the food chain the question of justification comes in to it.I think eating what you shoot is important . i think that commercial shoots are more affected than us small pot hunters ,i have adapted to non toxic years ago ,i used Bismuth in my old Scott 10 bore ,i use bismuth steel and tss in the 410 and steel in my 20 ga, if i needed to load or source large quantities of cartridges for big driven days i would be in trouble ! .Basc seem to take the blame for the whole sorry mess not sure its justified but thats just me.
  12. life's too short to go through all that lot again ! just a short appraisal will be fine 😀
  13. what was the question again ? What consequences will we have to deal with ?
  14. Completely agree , brilliant that Basc is on the ball fighting this nonsense .
  15. your probably going to get the blame for that one as well 😐
  16. Thankyou i can copy but little else i am afraid .
  17. Latest stick in Lime wood, small amount of paint and varnish on the bill the rest is burnt .I really enjoy making these but finding a good shank is a real pain (should have cut more last year ) this one is a good stout Hazell , 30mm at the top end .
  18. News report states there is evidence to support suspicious disappearance. I wonder if we will ever hear the evidence ?
