  1. Just noticed Old Farrier is online.........Nigel had myself and Bluebarrels, after a bit of coaching, breaking some good distanced clays!! Was a great day out Nigel!!
  2. 410, probably the most underestimated gun! I agree Walker, distances can often be overestimated. Amongst the other bits in my kit bag, is the range finder, used for rifle forays. I know the decoying/kill zone distances. I run full and 3/4 in my Yilditz 410.
  3. I think barrel and cartridge compatibility play a large part in this too. I had a Mossberg Hushpower (FC) 3 shot. It threw awful patterns with a variety of cartridges, and at 20 yards, it was done. I read Walkers post with interest. I also have a Yilditz,O/U, as well as a Baikal Hushpower (FC) single. Both pattern really well which allows me to confidently share Walkers experiences on distance. I too, home load, 18grms fibre, 6,7. With that load, I wouldn't want to be shooting birds for the pot at under twenty yards.
  4. How are you doing Steve, all good I hope. Yes I agree, crimp is low. Needs the wad stack higher, packing out the wad side not the powder side as he did. 👍
  5. And Priti Patel announced a day ago, that individuals caught having parties will get an £800 fine. So the organisers apparently "face" a 10k fine, how about the 400 x £800 being carried out? 320k would be useful to go to into constructive direction. But so much of where we find ourselves is because there is no back bone and therefore no penalty to bring the stupid into compliance.
  6. Agreed Dunks. The Lee press is tremendous value for money, and does a great job. At around £20 for a calibre change of dies, its so versatile. Its just a shame that you can't get a 410 conversion set for it. I'm just guessing that part of the reason, is that for the small ball powders like SP3, the seal from the charge bar may not be effective enough?
  7. She was a real character.........said if she could have just one night with Jason Statham, she'd die happy! Made of the right stuff! May she rest in peace.
  8. Interesting device! Obviously not for those with a need for large output. Seems from the replies in the comments, that it comes with 12 and 20gauge die sets and he's looking to do 410 soon. Cheap enough at £26, but then rises to £48 with the postage. Anyway, thought i'd pop it on for interest.
  9. If you want a money making project..............The lee load all can be had in various gauges with a conversion kit. This is essentially a plastic replacement in the chosen gauge, i.e. 12,20, etc. Lee doesn't do a 410 conversion for some strange reason. Whilst a bit basic, the dies make a far better job of crimping than the Mec, and so identical modelling, but scaled to the 410 would be a cracking project! https://www.henrykrank.com/reloading/lee-reloading/lee-load-all-ii-conversion-kit.html
  10. I recently pressed the button to catch up on Cornish Fisherman. It took me to Iplayer, so had to sign in. Two days later, had the same email as you Good shot. So of course, it was a golden opportunity to voice my opinions of Mr Packham!!
  11. Thanks Walked up. All the joints are pre drilled and double nailed and glued, then the wire is super tight and stapled with an air gun.....think it will be fine👍
  12. Put the this together for this in just a few hours. Painting took longer😀
  13. Hi Chris, I was in the same situation as you. I wanted a saw for everyday diy stuff, and its mostly bigger things like building sheds etc, not neat little jewellery boxes! Eventually after spending hours looking at reviews and youtube stuff, I came to the conclusion, the 185 was too small and the 255, to large for my needs. And also came to the conclusion, that the extra advantages of a sliding saw were huge. So, I bought the 210sms+. I have to say, its fantastic for the money. I absolutely cannot fault it. It really has the quality feel of saws twice the price. It took no time to put together out of the box, and make minute adjustments to get it all square. I should have bought one years ago!! I bought the dedicated stand for it too, which is superb. Link below to a review. Bear with him as it is interesting. Hope this helps.
  14. Steve, the majority content of your posts are money oriented, this is not a time to be concerned with a piddling amount of money, when you and you good lady have a life threatening disease and are struggling to breath! “There are no pockets in shrouds”!, Focus on you and your wife’s health, and I truly hope it all passes you by with no legacy. atb t33
  15. Whereabouts in the country are you? Its relevant to those that can help on here who maybe near enough to help and reloading components.
  16. Found a wallet on the floor of a Little Chef toilet many years whilst doing a splash and dash! It was a local lunch haunt, and the guys that worked there were all good local lads and lasses. £250 in cash in it and a fistful of high end credit cards. I handed it to the Rob the manager, in view of the other staff. A few days later, I was back in there. He thanked me again, and went on to say, they contacted the guy via bank etc..told them it was a local chap that handed it in...me. He came in and collected it and walked out without a word of thanks!! Classic manners!
  17. I completely sympathise with you 243. My two are now restricted.....same scenario as you, poor things. Maybe we should get out and ramp up the pest bird control, Jackdaws/crows/Rooks in particular, as they are so keen on entering the areas where hens are.........and tell Mr Packham we have to on grounds of disease control!!!!
  18. Now the heat is slightly off Covid, vaccinations on the doorstep.......etc........... That the media are back on climate change......almost very other advert on the radio or TV is now about the climate change!!! I'm losing the will to live!!!!
  19. Chris, You left out the micro chip that Bill Gates is popping into the idiots that have the vaccine, and Chem trails from planes!!😀
  20. Just heard from a Professor on LBC, that it can be stored for 5 days at refrigerated levels, so thats really good news!!!!!!
  21. LBC radio yesterday, James O'briens show, was full of anti vax idiots and their un founded sources of absolute garbage! Not one could make any sort of reliable reference to the source of their opinion, other than maybe from Facebook....dear god!! The worrying thing is, those with sense will have the vaccine when available, immunity for....a year? The plethora of anti vax persons out there, will keep this virus swirling around and around, keeping the rest of us repeatedly vulnerable and it will be here to stay.
  22. VIDEO-2019-05-08-19-48-04.mp4 Just look at the conviction of honesty in his eye!! 😂
  23. Heres a puzzling one. Usually, last week of October, first week on November, I see the pigeon migration over my house. 6am to 8am, flock after flock of anything up to 100+ birds coming from north west heading south. Its like clockwork both timing wise and direction. This year, a bit later by 3 weeks, and a total change of direction. They are all heading in from the East and heading West, no exceptions. Anyone else noticed a change?
