6.5x55SE

I'm very interested 😊😁 pleeeeeese Sir

Sent you a PM

I know of several PW members that shoot the Wash. Look back in time and several well known people have shot the wash. For me the East Lighthouse holds fond memories was the Home of Peter Scott and his Wildfowl collection also it's the place where i first started Wildfowling many years ago aged 11. Shep White's where Kenzie's house boat used to be again as a young lad i met and spoke to Kenzie on several occasions Holbeach Camp is another place i personally find amazing no doubt others can point you to places I've missed out

Tip my hat to you Centrepin very good offer to a New Member hope you Both enjoy your forthcoming outing 👍

Not with TSS but did with power shot and hw13 at 50yrd which if you'd hit a Snipe it was riddled. I did pattern my 20ga at 60 yrd using Pattern Master Anoconda Long Range Choke again mind blowing patterns but as we all know the Quarry we shoot at still has to be hit. I've always been a 20ga shooter but hand on heart PWS Hevi-Shot HW13 is a game changer TSS is on another level having said that most Geese I shoot on the Foreshore is with Steel shot

Admittedly only 9 TSS cartridges which all killed Geese fired from my Aya No3 Magnum 1/4 an 1/2 chokes just my opinion safe and know damage to gun

Well spotted 👍

Duck and Geese have down + feathers where Pigeons don't have down so general belief there harder to kill than a Pigeon are you now enlightened oh and no I'm not one of those that believe you have to shoot Duck and Geese going away so the pellets go up through the feathers but i certainly believe a Steel shot cartridge capable of cleanly killing Geese and Duck is more than enough for Pigeons well that's if the shooter puts the shot upfront

Totally agree also I'd love a £ for every Duck and Goose I've cleanly killed with 32grm Steel 4's and 5's over the last 20yrs let alone pigeons rooks crow's even driven Pheasants

I've just taken this off my .222 clean reliable holds zero £150+ postage sorry photo don't look right it's 4-16x44

Thanks. When my grandson used by mistake .20 cal pellets in his 22 Gamo Coyote they loaded in both magazine and chamber ok if fact they grouped but was not putting pellets on pellets as it normally does. Taking yourself and others advice it would seem it's a none starter as I've looked online getting a 20 cal magazine and probe there don't seem to be any available. Thanks to all that have commented

Thanks again for your information. I vaguely remember a warning about fitting a .177 gas ram to a .22 would push it over the legal limit

In general. Years ago i had a Theoben Rapid in 20 cal really rated both calibre and Gun. My grandson has a Gamo Coyote .22 ( which is very accurate and brought back fond memories when i used a air rifle ) which he could not get to put pellet on pellet one day when i had a go he had been loading it with .20 pellets ( wrongly bought ) . This brought up my .20 cal memory's but having no knowledge of internal workings of a pcp i thought I'd as on PW. I changed the barrel on a Theoben very easily but have know knowledge of the Gamo Coyote and would not want to go into the workings . So basically if by just changing 22 barrel for a 20 barrel the power would be the same i don't know. Perhaps my 20 cal itch is not possible without spending a lot of money

Thank you

I'm not seeking advice on which calibre PW members think is best BUT what effect would changing a .22 barrel on a 12flb pcp to .20 calibre have eg less or more flb Thanks in advance 👍

Thank you. Much better explanation than my attempts. 👍

May i suggest you read the OP original question before getting bitter and twisted 😂 also your own post STATING no 1's in the body will result in a Dead Goose 🙄 just to add and I'm sure those that have met/ shot with me would agree I'm not the type of bloke who spouts Bullpooop and definitely not " I'm superior to the Rest " far from it.

Each to there own but stating " let's stop this guff about 3's " IMHO is disrespectful to those that are capable of consistently killing Geese with 3's.

Thanks very much appreciated 👍

Thank you. Was the Hawke 1000 the latest model Thank you.

Not wanting to spend over £200. Has anyone got experience of a Vortex 850 or Hawke 1000 Thanks in advance 👍

Thanks to Dave at Kelton for his help problem resolved

That's very kind of you. Yes only 15 minutes drive from Soham so must meet up ( fingers crossed we will be allowed shooting this season ). Conor has joined 2 Wash clubs for this season so he is looking forward hopefully some first's from the new club. Age certainly taking its toll on myself 😂 but Young and keen Conor keeps me going oh and them ole " Wink Winks "

Your a Gentleman thank you

The Penny has finally dropped. Welcome back my Friend hope all is well with you. Treasured memories never too be forgotten. As you know my Grandson Conor is desperate to have a chance at a Whitefront keen as mustard and has heard several times of flights in Sandy Land with your good self myself very privileged to have shared those flights along with the knowledge you also gave me of Wildfowl and the time around them at B.M where you worked at the time. Stay Safe
