Right enough but the missing bit is that does assume a satisfactory energy level. Peppering anything with a load of under-powered shot will only have one result. The other missing bit is that you only need to go up shot sizes is if you wish to match the energy levels of lead which is often simply not necessary.

You could try Renaissance wax polish.

For the six main categories - FAC, SGC and Coterm' grants and renewals - this equates to an average 222% cost in round figures. I feel a letter to my MP coming on.

The photo looks as though the circle was drawn around the pattern after the shot was taken.

The chap I feel sorry for is another major who burst into print just before the bubble burst and as far as I know was the last author to use some of the information mentioned as highlighted above. Another well known writer who would be instantly recognised by the vast majority - if not all - of us of a certain age remarked in one of his last works that there are things which he would rather not have written. Overall though, it must be said that we do owe Major Sir Gerald Burrard an immense debt of gratitude. My 1960 copy of the Trilogy which was my father's and he bought it second hand is now in tatters simply through use. Perhaps it is a shame that he (Burrard) didn't pay more attention to a Dr Hammond-Smith and also that he would have appeared to miss some of the writing by Gen. Journee relating to Carl F. Gauss. The bubble referred to is the new research into the performance of lead carried out here and in the USA to ensure its comparison with any of the types of Non Toxic Shot being introduced would be valid. This work - the bulk of which was done in the USA - reflected that we were somewhat ambitious in our ideas for the effective ranges of lead shot. We'd got away with it as back in the day the height of a 'high bird' given in yards would have started with a '3'. Things were about to change.

Assuming that no one is being silly by overcooking a home load, we can ignore proof pressures for this. So. assuming like for like chamber lengths which has the higher service pressure between lead standard and magnum and steel standard and high pressure steel loads?

How the hell did you find that? There's no Laurona listed but I believed you and did a search and up came Laurona then. I've suggested that the owner pulls his finger out before they all disappear. Again, many thanks.

Magic! many thanks. I'm several hundred miles away and sometimes, just sometimes, it's good that we still have gunsmiths. I might just suggest that the owner buys a pin assembly 'on spec' while they're still available.

Help, please, Guys. My memory is getting a bit iffy but I do seem to recall something about spares availability. The owner quite likes this gun and had a problem a couple of days ago. The bottom barrel would not fire and the firing bin could not be seen when the gun was opened. Could anyone tell me about the availability of the pins and give a ballpark figure for their replacement? Assuming here it is a broken pin and nothing else which if memory is good replacement would require manufacture and possibly put the job, 'beyond economical repair. Many thanks.

Just been this morning after a several year absence because of illness. Breakfast is better than ever.

On this occasion your effort was not one of the posts referred to and reflects a NFA.

For me there are some very good and also interesting posts on this thread. Occasionally, though, some would be even better and demand more attention if the reader knew without having to work it out what the writer was saying. As an example of what can often happen on PW, what has the World Federation of Advertisers got to do with non toxic shot (NTS) - if you get my drift?

Re pictures. Sorry but count me out as I didn’t know we were going otherwise I’d have brought the camera and big lens up norf. I’m knadgered but being able to park just 50 yards from the track was ideal. Watching bikes and cars doing 100 and heaven knows how many mph a couple of feet from one’s nose was quite exciting. Up and over an adjacent footbridge and you were in amongst the cars and drivers. I’m told Mallory is a good old style race track. All I know is that it’s handy having hard car parks. It threw it down at Silverstone and the grass carparks were skating rinks for cars. We were mob handed on a jolly in our “best blues” and some smart **** volunteered us to help the stewards - they watched while we pushed and we finally left in a very different coloured uniform.

Eh? In the event that BASC finally loses all credibility, it would not be a misnomer if this was termed the, “O’Gorman Effect”.

Smoke and mirrors. Safe Effective Non toxic Economic Some of us have not forgotten the above 4 bullet points. Which is used for shot pellets? Steel or Iron? I hope it’s the former as it seems that that causes no ill effects when ingested whereas the latter in quantities above the low levels required for good health does.
