"I" cant cos my gun is a cheap sporting rifle and the cheaper rounds would be unlikely to give match grade accuracy, you would need something like Eley Tenex, but I could match it with a .17hmr. A decent .22 match rifle will group just as well.

Surely as Brexit was finalised we now have the right to be excused the pain of Eurovision, but agree that if Diane Abacus counts then we could win, probably last year as well.

Doubt that you are allowed to shoot on an Allotment, could be wrong but council's are unlikely to approve such practice.

Really, well every day's a school day on here. Maybe that why my .17 HMR is totally useless when I load .177 pellets into it?

You can buy 100 Eley HV .22lr rounds for much the same price, still travelling at 1000+ fps and carrying nearly 100 ft/lb at 100 yards.

How old is the gun?

With social media and people like Alex Belfield willing to expose the criminal side of our Police Force the popularity and, dare I say, the reliance, of the Police is no longer acceptable. From respecting the force 25 years ago I now detest them.

Welcome to the best friend you will ever have. Talk to anyone around you who has well behaved dogs, read and watch youtube clips, basic rules of thumb can be tweaked to suit most dogs temperament. Keep commands simple, don't let kids constantly call the dog, decide what reward you are going to use i.e. a ball or a treat. Never punish a dog more than a gentle tug on his ear and a growl sound. Someone will be along soon with a whole world more experience than me, enjoy. Don't overdo exercise or training a pup.

Buy one box of Ammo and go try them straight away, if they group under an inch at 100 yards go back and buy more from the same batch. No problems getting ammo where I am. Not sure how effective against crows if you are looking at reducing their numbers, the .17hmr, even with a decent mod, is rather loud. But they are fun, mate shot a crow off a fence post 140 paces away (I would guess 120-130 yards), not a particularly long shot compared to some youtube clips, but sooooo satisfying to see it burst into a cloud of feathers.

Could she have been eating Rape? My larger Springer chews on it at every opportunity he gets so I have to watch him all the time. Only time one of my Dogs has shown the exact same symptoms as yours, however, was after eating the butt of a spliff somebody had discarded. He lost control of his rear legs and was very sick, he had to go on a drip overnight and the vet said that he was unsure whether my dog would make it through the night, not an experience I want to repeat. Hope she makes a full recovery, sounds like she's heading the right way.

With the greatest respect, why not grab a free one off Faceache? Put my first cucumbers out today, several Tomato plants have flowers so not sure what to do as they are barely 8 inches tall? Bought the cheapest seeds I have seen from Lidl and every single one has grown, going to have to cull a load but not got the heart to do it!!

Do we really need to spends 1000's of pounds on deciding where to point the finger? WHO, 1/ watched the virus swan it's way across Europe and paid no attention? 2/ Threw away his best card of living on an island by letting the virus enter this Island from practically every doorway. 3/ Allowed his menials to put infected patients into the homes of the most vulnerable members of our society. 4/ Has bungled his way to becoming one of the highest paid mass murderers in history. My only hope is that, once this nation finally stops living in fear, the man directly responsible for 120,000+ deaths in this country is held accountable.

Will try and get some pics. As for Deer management I call their excuse a load of bullocks, in 2 years I have only seen 2 Deer and have not seen any signs of bark stripping, at one time, apparently, you could hand feed the Deer in the Car Park. It would take a couple of hundred head of Deer a good few years to replicate the carnage carried out by the (miss) Trust.

Common for bottom pin to go first as the design of an OU tends to drag the lower pin against the primer before it either slides back or a spring pulls it back, replacing the return spring, which I believe the Citori uses, would be a good idea, replacement pins are cheap and a good clean in the pin hole would be wise in case a bit of oil has gummed up over the years.

Slightly off topic but does anyone have any views on the Woodland Trust? In my humble opinion they are simply a lumber business masquerading under a charity name. One of our local woods was purchased by them in 1995 , since then they fell trees every 5 years, for no apparent reason, they sell Deer shooting and boast of their conservation work yet have not planted a single tree or created any habitat or nest boxes in all these years, they have destroyed the wood with their recent felling, TBH it nearly brings me to tears to see it now compared to just 5 years ago.

Situation is only going to get worse as a new piece of legislation is afoot that demands manufacturers carry spares for at least 10 years in an attempt to curb our throw away society. What short sighted half wit thought this up, companies will simply increase the cost of spares further to cover their storage costs and thus make any repairs even more uneconomical.

You couldn't make it up could you? BASC have lost their touch on reality.

Cannot help but wonder how such a poor country manages to spend over £51 billion per year on it's armed forces, to my mind that's a lot of buying power for vaccines and Oxygen.

Perhaps a little more research into the actual events that shaped Agincourt would be wise before calling it a victory.

Must be one of the best so far this year.

The OP AFAIK, has not mentioned the effectiveness of either calibre but rather questioned the price difference, besides, being in the states I'm guessing that power levels are far higher than in good old blighty so the parameters are different. I would say, after spending out for the gun why quibble over less £1.50 on 500 pellets?

Starting at 29p I wasn't expecting much but thought I might as well give em a go.....planted 20 lettuce and 2 cucumber and, after 6 days, all but one seed has geminated, that's a far higher result than my usual packs at £2.99. If you do pick up cucumber seeds make sure you read the description, though, as some are for Gherkin type fruit.

OK, so pretty much off topic, but I would really like to take this opportunity to show my appreciation for those guys on here that take the time to write a full and descriptive account of their forays, due to reasons that I will not bore you with I struggle to get out anywhere near as much as I used to, the snippets on this topic keep me going and, to me, are worth their weight in gold.

SMK don't make the P-15, as you know, they are made by SPA or Snowpeak/Artemis, you know the one, the largest manufacturer of Air Rifles in the world with over a million units a year currently being made. Not sure about BSA sales, probably best to speak to their Spanish parent company. I really wouldn't concern yourself about an Artemis sullying your collection of BSA's, you would soon sell those old crocks once you had your hands on a decent Chinese built gun 😀.

At the risk of repeating myself, the SMK P15 is under £400, it has a Titanium cylinder (the BSA, no doubt a Spanish steel el cheapo), will match the CLX IMHO in any test, is Regged and weighs slightly less than a Haddocks bathing costume, 100 shot before any noticeable drop in power, is like a Meccano set to work on, if you ever buy a CLX Stu, I'm happy to meet you for a shoot off....100 shots, pellets straight from the tin, 40 yards, winner takes the opponents gun?
