I knew it would not be straight forward, I’ll keep the shorter cases for lead fibre loads, I have some data for that. Thanks.

It’s going to drive you mad now. My friends model is hammerless so there are variations. Good luck with your quest. 👍

Google search images Manufrance simplex. Single barrel, trigger guard extends back to act as a lever.

Thanks for replying. This was a wet day in lockdown question. I’m happy with using the specified components and the end results work very well. I know to stick with proven data. Can’t get materials to load lead for now so was thinking out aloud.Is it the reduced case volume and base wad that would cause issues or is cutting down the wad also a bad idea. I am here to learn. Thanks.

Hi all, I've recently started loading steel for 16 bore. I have plenty of used 67mm RC empty and new 70mm Fiocchi cases. I have good data using A steel, this recipe calls for 70mm case, vp80 wad and overshot card.When made up in 70mm the load is a bit low in the wad but with a little card packer and os card in crimps well on my Lee load all. My question, can I safely cut down the wads so I can use my 67mm cases, use the os card, and reduce the charge and load a little. I've made a couple up and they close nicely. What do you think? Sorry if this has been covered before. Thanks. DS.

My friend in France inherited a 12 bore of similar description to this. Made in France, single barrel, push the trigger guard down and forward to break. He had several oldish guns and all made in France, Manufrance comes to mind but I can't be certain. DS.

I wonder if Crisp Packet would be outraged by the destruction of perfectly healthy trees! Seriously, it’s always good to get out and enjoy the environment.

French brand Percussion fits your budget. A mate that pickups and beats twice a week has had one of their coats for a couple of seasons and has nothing but praise for it. I tried their Normandy jacket, ideal for cold weather use.

Starting from scratch. That said, if any body has another calibration Lee I could convert it providing it all adds up.

I know!

As title, must be complete and serviceable. Thanks.

Petition to ban driven grouse shooting. Government has replied and I don’t think CP will be amused.
Part of the reply to petitioners,
This is a devolved matter. Defra is working with key interested parties to ensure the sustainable management of the uplands, balancing environmental and economic benefits, which includes the role of sustainable grouse shooting.
The Government appreciates that many people hold strong views on the issue of driven grouse shooting. The Government considers that shooting activities bring many benefits to the rural economy and can in many cases be beneficial for wildlife and habitat conservation. We recognise that it is vital that wildlife and habitats are respected and protected and the law is respected. We will continue work to ensure a sustainable, mutually beneficial relationship between shooting and conservation. The Government has no plans to ban grouse shooting.

Done and passed on.

Induction hob is the way to go unless you do lots of stir fry. It's very fast. You can also put a piece of kitchen roll under a frying pan to catch any splashes and throw it away when you have cooked. Very efficient and easy to clean.
Got an induction hob, would never go back to gas! Does everything gas does and a doddle to keep clean. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of your existing pans you should be able to use them. 👍

Well there is the problem then, should have got the real deal....
I guess you could wax the fancy pants fabric, might make it waterproof....?
Had a Solway zipper years ago, waxed the pants off that more than once. It was Miserable to wear when cold and wet. I hung it over the spare wheel on the truck to air one day and forgot it. Drove home and of course it was gone, Never went back to look for it. Modern fabric from then on.

Have used Musto waterproofs for years when sailing, very good stuff but at a cost.

Now that looks good!
I’ll check out the other makes too. Thanks all.
