Correct! 100%. No vote. Just a decision taken by BASC Council and then the lame justification that this was therefore all OK.

I tried some Hull Superfast 27 gram clay cartridges in my 6lbs 14ozs side by side and did not like them at all. Too damned punchy! And this is my later father's 30" side by side gun that I had stocked and fitted for me and shoots 1 1/18 standard game loads with no discomfort at all. So Superfast may mean that Newton's Third Law makes life unpleasant at the butt end as well as at the usual muzzle end!

Is that Royal Mail Recorded Delivery which only provides advice of delivery? Or the fully tracked service offered by Parcelforce which tracks at every stage of the process?

Future tip to all. Go online directly to Parcelforce website. It is slightly cheaper if you do....even if dropped off at the local to you Post Office...and cheaper still if taken to a local Parcelforce Depot (mine is but five minutes away a benefit of having an industrial estate on the village boundary with Leicester). https://www.parcelforce.com/sending-a-parcel They email you a receipt and also you download and print the label so you always have the tracking number to hand in your email. You will need scales (bathroom scales work for me) and a metric tape measure plus a PC with access to a printer.

The saying "quantity has a quality all of its own".

We had, yes, a horse drawn mil delivery. Hobill's was the company. Their farm ended up having the M1 put through it and Leicester Forest East services. Then not many years later on what was left of the farm the M69. I used to park my car in their farmyard when going to Paris and walk down to Leicester Forest East services to meet the coach going to Paris via Dover and Calais. We also had coal in sacks from a coal merchant on a flat bed lorry and bread from a bread man with a wicker basket from Geary's bakery of, then, Ratby the next village.

What? That today's Made in China binoculars out perform 1940s British Army issue binoculars? They do. Even fairly recent 1970s and 1980s Pecar telescopic sights don't compare to today's Hawke stuff.

I have had Zeiss 10x40, Leica 7x42 and my late father's 7x50 binoculars he has as a gunnery officer in WWII when engaging German bombers either as light anti aircraft or as searchlights. Sad fact is that even the cheapest, almost, of today's Made in China binoculars surpass, just, but enough to be evident his WWII set.

As other say powder can degrade and either break up which will make it burn as if it were a faster powder. Or dry out. Which I don't know what it would behave as if. OTOH if the cartridge gets damp the fibre wad might swell.

My advice is get rid of the very apparent seam along the back of the head and into the neck. It casts a shadow that is most unnatural.

RELISTED AS BUYER DID NOT CALL AND COLLECT WITHIN REASONABLE TIME. From a near postcode LE9 2AL which is near J21A of the M1 at Leicester Forest East. Sight please of a valid SGC and cash on collection £35.00 = £5.40 per 100 which is less that the Clay and Game rate for 1,000. In boxes as shown and with a red lacquer sealant colour on the flash hole end. Please reply here and PM. These cannot be posted, cash on collection only and no valid SGC shown when purchased = no sale. And yes I am aware that VCR Act 2006 doesn't require such but I am also aware that old .455 Webley cases can be and were reloaded with such primers. So if you want there then no sight of a valid SGC = no sale. COLLECTION AND PAYMENT WITHIN SEVEN DAYS PLEASE.

See PM and PM now replied to. OP is still looking as what I had wasn't suitable.

There are various videos on the internet under Pathe about training RAF Air Gunners with shotguns. And some American ones with the actor who, later would play Penguin in the 1960s Batman television series, Burgess Meredith. And President Ronald Reagan! This below is from the topmost video.

Belgian alas. But it's cheap if you want it at £85 and I'll pay for you to try it over twenty-four birds at Normanton Shooting Ground. If you have it I'll pay for the birds, If you try and not buy you pay for the birds you've shot up to when you decided not to have it. The main benefit though is the stock length which with the pad is some 15 5/8" to centre as I am 6' 4" tall. Take the pad off and replace it with a simple plate and it comes down to about 14 3/4". The BSA guns if you're lucky will be 14 1/2" maximum. The ex RAF guns are nice. Ejectors, 28" barrels, and all with a W prefix serial number and about half choke in each barrel but very low in the stock.

Tis a Belgian. No maker's name. Dates from in between the two World Wars. It was my "wet weather" gun in that if the weather looked wet it was the one I'd go to. Now I have an AYA Yeoman Ejector so it hasn't been used save the first day of last season. That's really a damn and blast £2 under the bid. Southam's is better in some respects as their online sale is live and you can go that extra £5.
