    Yup, bought one two weeks ago. Stainless Stalker in .243. What do you want to know?

    just wondering if they had any faults really when used by real people and not the sales staff who try and sell them . for the price they look very ressonable.they rave on abouts its accuracy straight from the box is this true ?

    thats a big boy :hmm:

     

    i shot a large one the end of last year, i carried it back across the field by its rear legs like i always do and the head was dragging on the floor still and it was a fair weight, i'm 6'3" most the foxes we shoot dont come anywhere near the floor when i drag them back, my mate who has been shooting for 20 years said it was the biggest and heaviest he'd seen.

     

    Not seen any decent sized foxes our way, just last years and this years cubs, adults round here are a bit educated from poachers :hmm:

     

    will try and find a picture of it

    would like to see it , i have spotted a larger fox about but the big ****** is used to all the calls, even bought a new call to lure it in , but as soon as i spot him and try to call him in he's took off faster than ethiopian with a dinner ticket so the plan is just to wait until hes in range next time ,

  16. Ammunition Re-loading

    I'm finding it difficult to find any online sources for shot, wad, primers, powder etc?

     

    I'm guessing they arent allowed to supply most of that online but I cant even find uk sites to get prices and an idea of the kit I want.

     

    Anyone know a good online resource for this kind of information?

     

    try midway uk . for online supplies , you will have to buy your primers from your local gun shop as they are classed as explosives every thing else you can buy online , if you ask on this forum for lead/steel shot i suspect some one makes there own and would sell you some . its worth and ad in the wanted section :) good luck and hope it goes well

    I've recently got into fun shooting with a Marlin 1894C and I can see its going ot get very expensive ammo wise. I keep being told and should load my own and ive seen starter kits for £500 which equates to about 1500 rounds of .357.

     

    Obviously I have to research how to do it properly and the starter kits seem to have everything you need including instructions but how much cheaper does it make your ammo? I just want to work out if its a path I need to walk with my .357 costing me £16.50 per 50 at the moment!

     

    Any re-loaders out there?

     

    reloading your own is much cheaper in the long run , my set up for 22.250 worked about to be around the 200 mark for the press ,dies,powder scales ( dispencer) and hand primer, put if take into account you can buy new dies if you change calibers in the future .reload ammo done propely is much more consitant than factory ammo and your get better bullet placment each time( if done correcly) .reloading is as not as scary as you may think,you just have to take into account that when you start buying primers/powder/cases/heads this can work out to be a bit expensive but in the long run it will defo work out cheaper .when i started to reload i was told why reload when privi is only 9 pound a box ? its simple relay i can produce a bullet with a expanding head than is more accurate each time as some times you only get one shot .to put it simple if privi (soft points )are 9 pound a box for 20 and winchester silver ( expanding) tips are 38 pounds for 20 rounds , i can produce 20 expanding rounds for less than 5 quid . so the choice is yours .

    i am on the look out for some thing to hold my battery when lamping what do others use i need some thing strong as it is a big battery height 7 inches depth 3 inches width 8 inches any info chaps

    why use a single big battery ?

    i use 2 or 3 12v 9ah batterys joined together ( go kart battery / motorcycle batterys) gell cells and placed in rucksack if i am on foot . works a treat. will last about 8 hours when lamping . and it doesnt break your back compaired to lugging a big battery about . i suspect that that battery is acid filled too .
