I don't have any objection to plastic wads being used on clay grounds because they will eventually get picked up. Its a shame they are not recylable, wrong sort of plastic apparantly

I must admit, to echo Gordon, I was impressed with Salmond's delivery of his evidence. Thats the key point in all this, he has got real evidence that they were fishing for people to make complaints against him. Plotting behind his back I don't like him but I wish him luck Insight: The Alex Salmond inquiry and unpicking a tangle of disinformation | The Scotsman

Fair price and a smart car, the 350 is so much better to drive

No real gentleman would (or should) ever turn up at a "proper" shoot with a plastic cartridge, much less a plastic wad. It is just asking to have people tutting at you behind your back. These things are noticed and commented on although not to your face. Might as well write CHAV on your forehead with a sharpie, gentlemen use paper cases and fibre wads

Plastic wads evolved in the late 60s through into the 70s purely for one reason and one reason only. The cartridge manufacturers were creating faster loading machines and to handle the faster speeds they needed plastic wads because they could be fed automatically in the machines when fibre wads had to be fed by hand So to convert the rather stuck in the mud old fashioned cartridge users huge campaigns about better patterns etc was carried out by american shooting magazines who were really in the pay of their advertisers. No advantage of plastic wads has ever been proven in actual unbiased testing that I have seen. The only reason they exist is that they are cheaper.

That letter was from a school in North Finchey, an area where even an average run of the mill 3 bed semi is going to cost around the million pound mark. So its almost self selecting the sort of parents you are going to get sending there kids to that school

At the old house when i looked into building a shed/workshop i found I could buy a good one ready made much cheaper than buying the materials and building one myself from scratch.

I remember the chippie in Carterton with fond memories, I am often down that way because I buy a lot of shooting supplies from Dauntsey. Still the best stocked gunshop and I am often passing on the M4

No its almost the reverse, they put huge obstacles galore in the way of genuine people wanting to catch them. Its crazy to me but they say "they have to protect the native crayfish" but the native crayfish are long gone, kaput, finished, as soon as the reds turn up. Instead they should be producing books on how to cook crayfish, 101 crayfish recipes. The crayfish BBQ book, etc, they are a potentially huge and more or less sustainable food source. In Florida they are a delicacy served in restaurants. Crawfish they call them. Another huge missed opportunity in my opinion. Crawfishing a pastime for all the family, catch em on a Saturday, BBQ em on a Sunday. forget the food bank, get a crawfish trap and feed your family for free for evermore. More protein than rump steak

I would imagine .22 ammo would always have been easy to get hold of for the wrong sort of people. I'm not stupid enough to say how on an open forum but many of you will have an idea what I am getting at. For a start you always used to be able to buy it without a licence in quite a few European countries

All the rivers around here in NW London run into the Thames eventually. The Colne, The Chess, The Pinn, The Gade, the Crane etc. They are all equally infested, plus the Grand Union canal takes the crayfish all round the country. We ought to have a "general licence" situation on crayfish whereby anybody can catch them. Instead you have to apply for a licence, which is difficult to get, they often refuse to give one. Tnen they limit you to three tagged traps and a short designated stretch of water from which you cannot stray.

Some lady on Sky being interviewed as a spokesperson for the travel industry. She said websites are jammed with people looking to try an book holidays once restrictions get lifted. Lemmings have more sense than these people, lift the domestic restrictions but keep the travel ban.

Yes a lot of the "second and third division" airlines are running older aircraft by buying secondhand parts to keep down costs. Another interesting programme, in that respect, is the plane breakers. Literally every part from the engines down to the toilets of a scrap plane are carefully taken out and resold to somebody somewhere. Lots of other corners get cut like re-using high tensile bolts instead of replacing them each time

During lockdown I have been watching a lot of those Air Crash Investigation type programmes. Its scary how often it highlights maintenance not been carried out as well as it should be. Not in the UK I have to point out

I am of the opinion that the decline in fresh water fish around here is mainly due to red crayfish eating the eggs before they can hatch

I don't think my area uses them.

The whole point of a S7 is possession without the ability to use. Its real purpose is for collectors, museums and executors etc. Its not an extension of you existing licence

Its an obsolete practice now to mix it with water to wash out the bore, that goes back to the days of corrosive primers. But yes, the smell was that of my childhood.

How has he broken lockdown? I don't see that he has at all. Visiting a sick relative is allowed. You can bet the back office went through it with a fine tooth comb before he set off. Far too savvy to get wrong footed

Its the same on the canals. As far as I know, all canal boats must have a toilet or they wouldn't get licenced. That involves going to a boat yard and paying to have the toilet pumped out or emptied.

Its going to be hard to find anywhere to book in this country come the summer. We are already looking at staycation overload

Avoid unless you know more. We used to reclaim shot by spreading tarps out on the DTL range and the shot came back good enough to load straight from the bucket. That was before the days of steel
