  1. only one way to find out.... Have you tried PPU fmj factory rounds? They are cheap enough to try a box or two, different weights. Anything from £12 to £16 a box! What range you shooting out to?
  2. yes😄 (sorry) 6.5mm sp, deer don't seem to mind em, fine for sub 100yds woodland stalking, not as accurate as hornady sst's but less carcass damage.
  3. Either Knot or Dunlin.......or not😁
  4. yes please (if rapid.25 doesn't have them) thanks.
  5. mmm....making me hungry. Picked up my smoker for £3 from our local recycling centre, don't think anyone knew what it was! ha ha! I smile every time I use it.
  6. Almazan kitchen on youtube, very inspiring!

    I went and caught 1/2 dozen mackerel and a nice bass......meals for a couple of days, delicious!!
  8. Thanks Born free, will check coil screws and electrics in handle too. Dave; Mitox have a fair rep for saws amongst the arborists I believe.
  9. Got to admit this has me a bit baffled..... Picked up a Mitox 3600UX strimmer/brushcutter cheap. looks little used but 'won't run properly' To date I have; Changed to fresh fuel, 50:1 Checked fuel line ok. Checked fuel filter ok Stripped carb and cleaned with carb cleaner, diaphragms look fine. Cleaned plug. Reassembled and fired up it does run but will not pick up revs when given throttle. Here's the strange bit.....when the on/off switch is moved to 'off' it will pickup revs, run normally for a few seconds then stop? Is it electrical I wonder? A new carb is £50 but I have a sneaking suspicion that it's not the problem. Any thoughts from the P.W. posse? Thanks.
  10. I was a bit bored this afternoon, ended up doin these. 👍Ditchy.......how's yer moles? Us got sum gurt big ones here in Deb'n, big as dogs they be!! Can pop some in post if u loike....🤣😂👍free!
  11. Good idea, I try to position cams to not pick up early/late sunshine as it does tend to wash out image, ta. Is it standard tripod thread? Good idea,.....👍
  12. Got fed up with water on lenses ruining what could be great shots so...... Just knocked up a couple of these. Made from cut out 2L plastic milk jugs, sticky camo tape and zip ties (blue peter badge on the way...) The zip ties go through trailcam base and rain cover then I use green covered wire to fix to tree. The 2L jugs fit 'Little Acorn' sized trailcam perfect, this one is a cheap amazon Boblov.
  13. That's great! Im sure some animals know when they are safe...
  14. I've used a few and had some success. The acme crow call has never been productive for me but the Primos power crow has. Also the Flambeau/Lohman 'gold crow' call. I use them mainly if im pigeon decoying and crows are passing out of range, you can lure them in close enough to shoot. I usually put a few outlying crow decoys in my pattern with an empty couple of egg shells for added interest. Apologies to those in the know but the main thing with corvids is staying hidden till last minute, their eyesight is sharp and can be tricky to fool. Other times they're almost suicidal!😎
  15. ....for a borescope application?

  17. Thanks JDog, thought it could have been a red oak🤣
  18. Anyone know what this is please?

    Bird id

    +1 for peregrine, looks like a juvenile to me. Moustachial strip clearly visible. Nice one!
  20. .......tonight mostly I will be drinking these......
  21. Nice one! Good feed there for a few meals. Whereabouts was that? Did some fishing up north, Bay of Islands some time ago, loved it 😁
  22. Interested in this as I have a high pruning pole I want to adapt for lofting deeks, any pics please? ta...
  23. I have a Marlin .357mag carbine conditioned for aolq, so that's fox, humane dispatch of deer, rabbits and squirrels. Put picatinny rail and low powered scope on it. If you reload, it really is a versatile, cheap round. You can use lower powered .38sp or full house .357mag loads. I cast my own lead for it and it works out less than 10p/round! The carbine really is a handy size for close woodland, shame they're not deer legal😒 Had a great afternoon on squirrels round the feeders, shot a couple of rabbits too, great fun!.....
