    I think it's a good programme. We all sit down to watch people on the telly watching telly!

    The 'weird son' is in fact, according to my daughter, the boyfriend of the German blokes daughter.

    The 'posh' couple are hilarious,as are the young gay couple. Just my opinion of course. It's my guilty pleasure; I shouldn't like it but I do.

    Did' nt the daughter say she was "BI" in the last episode. confused?

    My 1916 Herbert Wolf full hunter 9ct gold watch with period monogramed fob chain which i wear very often approx value £2000 New watches are worth very little especially the collection watches but a original working watch is a investment. pictures173.jpg

    C.P.C LICENCE (certificate of proffessional competence). Reqs 5,x 7hr training courses by accredited training suppliers. These courses are then logged against a DVLA database and when 35 hrs of training has been completed a CPC Licence will be issued. The licence is similar to a normal driving licence and lasts for 5 years in which time you have to complete another 35hrs training.Courses are motor trade /driving/safety, orientated, however you can do the same course 5 times and still qualify!. Another stupid money making scam for the government. Avoid the rush comes into force in September.

  6. who sells 12gauge black powder cartridges in cheshire /merseyside area

    also, depending on use, buy 2lbs of powder if you can,

     

    once you get a taste for it, it gets more enjoyable. what you`ll need is a BP measure that can volumetric mesure drams. i think 3 or 2.5 is standard, topped with 1,1/8oz of shot, thats been a standard load. for ages. you can buy a shot dipper, or you can weigh or mesure the shot.

     

    this may also be very economical, due to the price of shells, availability, and or shipping.

     

    usually the BP hells are slow, so up the shotsize if shooting at distance game, same cost so there should be no reason to start loading #9 and shooting stuff.

    you`d get better sporting performance, as mos manufacturers just load 6s.

     

    also what chamber size? 70mm or 65?

    65mm chambers

     

    The substitutes are not nitro. No licence is needed for them because they are are slightly harder to ignite than BP.

    There is one or two smokless equivelents for rifles but they dont seem very popular over here.

    Loading for pyrodex or trip777 is available on Hodgdens web sight.

    If you use pyrodex use lots of hot water to clean the barrels and numerous wet patches. The salts produced in burnt pyro are worse than BP.

     

    An empty case trimmed to hold a measure of shot can also be used to measure the same volume of powder....always a standard.

    There wont be much room for a wad so a single fibre wad may do three shells. A thin card on the powder and a blob or two of vasaline under the wadding helps with the cleaning!

    These were my last pyro loads.

    U.

    I see your using full brass, thats what i'm thinking of getting, how many reloads can you get out of one of those? and where did you get them from,

    So just to confirm i can get primers on my SGC and all the wads and cards are easily available to get as well as powder and shot so all in all i should be in business without the need for a explosive cert.

    Thanks for all your information chaps i will let you all know how i'm getting on, and do a report on my first loads .CHEERS.

  13. Advice on economy motors

    Thumbs up for Smart had 2 one with over 130k miles on it currently have a convertable, as long as the oil is changed regularly with Mobil1 they are great cheap "lifestyle" motors just me and the missus and a small dog it's all we need . Don't listen to the haters they have probably never owned one (bit like Hatsan haters) , and you'lll be amazed at the space inside.

  17. Reload or buy ?

    Hello chaps, Just picked up a old Belgium 12 gauge SXS blackpowder hammer gun that i'm in the process of recommissioning.My question is should i go down the Explosive certificate route to acquire and reload or just buy boxes of black powder ammo as needed. Probably won't shoot more than 500 rounds per year through it so is the reloading route viable.Any sensible advice would be gratefully received.
