I can't find the estimate on Holt's site. What are they putting on it ?

Cut the breasts off, pan fry medium rare like a nice steak, then order something more predictable for Christmas Dinner, we're having stuffed crackling joint

There is the link to the article for you marsh man.

My lab was fine with them until someone decided to hire a "professional" and put on a display in the garden of a midterrace down my road.
Half an hour of solid bangs that were shaking the house and he's been a mess when fireworks are on ever since.

You could if you wished. I'm satisfied that Shrivenham would have done exactly as they were tasked. Apart from Stephen Champion's quoted words, the written article appears to be by BASC with just the Key Findings - photo's and tables - supplied by Cranfield University. It is worth noting perhaps that both cartridges in the trial would be classed as HP which would explain the given effective range - subject to pattern - as suggested.
Its a BASC article, on the BASC website, what exactly do you expect?
May i suggest, instead of whining on the Internet, you provide us with your scientific findings? This article shows, in a simple form, the information that people need about steel shot, instead of the nonsense spouted by most.

Why don't you ring the university and ask them if they took an envelope of cash to promote BASCs agenda?

Not so according to a local Beef Farmer, McDonalds only buy the best Beef available to protect their reputation.
Its not the beef, its the other junk they put in them.

Just shows what quality goes in the normal ones then!
Was this an intentional trip out to try one or did you forget to take lunch to the office?

Ayup Mat how are you?
Yes it does feel a bit agricultural but thought that it might wear itself down by now 😅🤣 there was a second hand one for sale on here I think in .22.
Still breathing HCC, main goal in life!
I'm sure it'd tidy up with the edges polished. Might take a look at one, mind I've got several air rifles already

Now in all honesty who in their right mind is going to answer that question other than a resounding NO!!
An honest man who understands that talking about the problems is the first step to solving them.
Regardless of fac or such, we should be talking about mental health.

Looks interesting HCC , what's the bolt feel like? Agricultural?
Been years since I had a PCP, pumps were alot more expensive then

As mentioned above, I had the one that Saltings sold.
Lovely fun, shot 3 1/2" Steel loads very nicely, especially with the extra stock weight that Saltings put in, made it a very balanced gun. I wouldn't hesitate on putting any steel shot loads through it, they're proofed to the right pressure, just don't have the fleur but I don't see that as an issue.
I sold it as I couldn't shoot it, its still local, although its been converted back to a double discharge now.

I've got no problem with what the hunt did, but I've no sympathy for them regarding this media backlash.
They know they're under constant scrutiny, keep certain things inside 4 walls where some donut hiding in a bush can't video you. It's simple logic for self preservation.
We live in a world where we cannot always continue on as we did in the past, hunts need to realise this if they want to survive.

Absolutely nothing, mobile phone is all you need if things get bad.
No point having a phone if you've bled out before the ambulance can get there!

Hi all,
Has anyone got any recommendations for a cabinet alarm that links to your phone?
Only want something cheap and simple that notifies me if anyone tries to open the cabinet?
Don't want to spend a fortune as we'll be putting a full alarm system in new house when we move in a month or two.Thanks

Good curry goat is superb. Goat meat in general really tasty, braised leg with butter beans and chorizo is to die for. I recall talking to the owner of the farm we get our goat meat from and she was saying that she was always glad when people bought goat for the first time, but was often disappointed that it was usually for curry goat and not a recipe that let the meat flavour speak for,itself.
I sell 2 goats a month and it always disappoints me when people just buy it for curry! It's such a wonderful meat that is under used.
Looking at this months orders ( going out tomorrow) top seller is diced, then burgers ( Minted goat and dandelion) , then sausages ( herby is the top seller)
I've found once people eat it in some like burgers or sausages, then they start moving onto other dishes, sell very few roasting joints.

I picked a dog up from Devon a couple of weeks ago, looked at a hotel for the night, was £120! Hitched the trailer tent on the truck, 2 nights at a quiet campsite instead for £30 and spent what I'd saved on taking the misses and daughter out for the day.

Only pork we get now is from a local farmer/butcher, all outdoor reared, really tasty! Everything he does is full of flavour, can see them out grazing (sometimes up close when they pop into ours from the field next door!) and now he is selling some of my goat meat through his shop

The layout today was super ... great variety and I doubt they’ll change it until just before the County Championship next Sunday.
Was it busy?

I live two minutes from The Priory. I always go to East of England, its a far superior ground.

How many council employees have you got hid up out of sight building that HCC? 😂

I've had two Lintran ones now, can be had second hand cheap enough, easy to clean. Transk9 are stronger.
Why not go for a set of semi fitted ones, that's what I'm supposed to be putting in the ranger, bit like what I've got in her van.

Plenty of pigeons been feeding on spring drillings when I've been riding round lately.
Original Punt Gun
in General Shooting Matters

The trouble is, they're more wall hangers with a limited audience than practical pieces these days. Its a shame but that area of our sport is dissapearing.
Is it the only punt gun you have?
