  1. I enjoyed that read. Thanks for posting.
  2. I disagree completely. The limitation is not that of the man holding the gun, but generally a failure at range of shotgun pellet pattern. 100 yard kills are the result of lucky pellet strikes (even though the bird could be in the centre of the pattern), more often resulting in wounding than clean kills. I see a lot of good shooting on the high bird videos (mainly no higher than 60 yard birds), but I wince/cringe when I witness the wounded birds.
  3. Velocities of 1600fps are really not necessary. All you are really gaining is increased recoil. 1400fps is more than enough for steel loads.
  4. 😅 It appears I have misunderstood. For some reason I read 4 cartridges per kill. I take it all back. 4 kills to one miss is extremely good!!
  5. Are you shooting decoying pigeons? If the answer is yes, I would suggest you need more practice at the clay ground. A ratio like that isn't great, and I would certainly not blame the cartridges. Personally, it has never really mattered to me what cartridges I was using. I never really felt that any particular brand wasn't up to the job. Quite! 160fps is very little in real terms. And yes, those are just manufacturers quoted speeds (very often not ACTUAL speeds).

  7. Hi all. I have had some good runs of form whilst on the pigeons. I remember on an April day about 10 - 12 years ago, I was decoying on some patchy rape. I ended on over 100, shooting from 2-6pm. I remember at one point being on 50 pigeons for my first 54 shots. They decoyed nicely, and I was on form for once....
  8. I have a few lead 10 bore cartridges that I now wish to sell on. They have remained in my collection for a while. I have a full box of Winchester xx magnum 2 1/4oz BBs - £55 There are 18 Express 2 1/4oz 4s - £35 19 Winchester Supreme Turkey loads, 2 1/4oz 4s - £40. 15 Eley paper cased loads 4s and 5s £25. 10 Gamebore Rhino 2 1/4oz 1s - £17 I am open to sensible offers.
  9. After much I thought I have decided to sell this gun. It is in very good condition apart from a bit of wear to the butt pad. It is 3 1/2" chambered, has a 28" barrel and is steel proofed. It comes with 3 spare chokes, shims, stock extension, choke key, hard case, sling swivels etc. It has the kick-off recoil reducer in the stock. Overall it is a very good gun. I am looking for £800 for it. Location is Terrington, Norfolk.
  10. I have made the point many times over the years that a gun doesn't necessarily need a fleur de lis in order to be fine with "HP" steel.
  11. I have some for sale. Lead Winchester etc. Where is local?
  12. I have a load of different bits for sale. I am in Terrington, Norfolk.

    Missed this post. Will get some pictures over to you later.
  14. A bit far for you, maybe, but I am going to sell mine. Probably only had 500 shots fired through it. Mine is a synthetic mossberg pump.
  15. Yep. The ones that "consistently" kill 80 yard pheasants have a different definition of the word "consistently" to me! Ie, they are talking a load if old balls!
