  1. Hello I hope you guys can help I'm trying to make some 25-06 brass out of .270 Iv successfully made a couple so far but I'm worried about neck thickness. I measured the out side neck size of a fired 25-06 case from my rifle and it measures 0.291 then I measured the out side neck size on a loaded converted bullet which measures 0.286 leaving it with 0.005 to expand in my chamber. Also the internal neck of these converted bullets are about 0.002 thicker. Would you say they are okay or need trimming. I have put a loaded dummy converted bullet in my rifle and it cycles with out fault

  3. Hello mate my gear box bearing went on my discovery and it was obvious it had got because of the noise ( as it had gone quiet badly ) how ever in answer if your going along in any gear apart from top gear then let the vehicle decelerate with your foot off the clutch it will make either a noticble vibration or a loud clicking noise which will become quiet when you depress the clutch again. Hope that makes sense and helps
  4. Hi chaps, I was kindly taken pigeon shooting today by six hills and it's really set home how much I miss being able to go shooting when I please. I have spent two days thus far travelling round asking for permission and have not got a bean. Im still new to the area and can't even seem to find farm managers or owners to ask I'm getting pretty desperate for any kind of permission I have to admit, Cheers

  16. It works out cheaper yes dependant on what components you use, but the accuracy is depending on how much work your willing to put into the preperation of your rounds, if you try different seating depths, bullet head types, powders and primers then yes you will get a more accurate round because you talor make them to suit you and your gun so it is worth doing
  17. Iv used a semi auto mate and the following is what i have found they may not apply to you because every gun is different but : Try to avoid less than 28 gram loads as they will not has sufficient recoil or power to work your semi auto's action every time Try to avoid 2 1/2 inch shells as some (myn and my friends) jam as they try and release two cartridges at the same time from the magazine *Find a cartridge that is reasonably priced, readyily avalible that you shoot well with and STICK TO IT ! i have wasted so much money and miss opertunities to get large bags of pigeons just because i kept swaping and changing the shells i fired
  18. The only thing i would say about shooting that lighter bullet is ensure they are not too fast for the barrell, I brought some 40grn ballistic tip for my 22-250 which travel around 4300 fps and were great up to 100 yards, however over 100 yards they began to tumble and hit all over the place to which i later was told was due to my barrel twist rate was too slow

  20. To be fair to the club we went to in farmbridge through as al4x said we wouldnt be true sports men if it was all roses all the time, the setting, the team that organises it couldnt be any better they truly where great, there was more ducks and geese than iv ever seen in the surrounding areas we just didnt have the weather for it, it was just unfortunate about the mud !
  21. We are looking for a club to join but want to try a few different areas, we where members of black water but it was too far to travel and trying to find a half decent spot was ni on impossible. We did go to farmbridge at the weekend which ended in a faily bad experience, we shot 3 teal and had 2 of them claimed by the guns either side of us, we sank up to our knees in the mud on the floor of the hides, two pickers up and the owner was just casualy walked around out side the hides all morning so we ended up spending the best part of 5 hours and £100 watching every duck and goose change course before coming any where near us.
  22. Hello Myself and my friend are desperately looking for a morning or evenings wildfowling either flight or decoyed, we would love to shoot a few geese but just ducks would be fine, we are based near stansted airport in hertfordshire but are willing to travel a fair way. We are both insured, responsible safe shots cheers
  23. I work in insurance and leeds chap is correct you can mirror bonus with some companies, two things though A. don't lie coz if your court they will void your policy even worse is if you claim and they find the vehicle to be in some ones elses name you could be treated as being uninsured so depending what the claim is could see you doing jail time and getting an IN10 on your licence and 2nd don't use mulit car schemes there usless and more than often you only earn bonus on one car and if you go else were the bonus you have built is only relative to the company you were with and not accepted else were same as 10 month accelerator bonus only hold water with the compoany offering the deal.
  24. It is a good site and i found the bits i wanted really quick i just need to call the number and get a free shipping code, but i don't no if that would count for shipping out side the USA
