  1. I'm very partial to a blonde beer with boondoggle from the ringwood brewery being my favourite at the moment
  2. I have a Remington 1100 in 28 gauge and a great little gun it is I also have an o/u BSA in 28 and use them when I can
  3. I don't shoot inland geese only foreshore so to echo other posters I only shoot what I can carry that's 2 and on a long walk back along the sea wall that's enough With duck shot over washes or flight pond of usually widgeon or teal up to 10 enough for my game bag but it's been a very long time since I have come anywhere near this
  4. Before insulin there are other meds you can be prescribed Byetta exenatide And Victoza liraglutide Both are injected twice a day IMHO byetta is a great drug it worked very well for me for two years or more

    solway

    Any visiting fowler should purchase a day ticket the solway wild fowlers association purchased the merse's with a loan from the habitat stamp fund in fact I thinks all fowlers should purchase one of these as well
  7. You can ask about gilizicide an additional tablet a couple of times a day will help Stay clear of piaglitzazone you will put loads of weight on with this another tablet You can ask for byetta a form of injection twice a day though they do have a once a day and I think a once a week one of them now Also victoza another injection similar to byetta Then insulin Not the end of the world
  8. I'm told eley are knocking them out as fast as they can one chap who had some of the original batch had ordered 15000 and two others 5000 each I got 500 lightning ultra on Tuesday 36 and 32 gramm the delay was getting the components from Europe with the Spanish on strike the earlier last week Donkey
  9. Home loaded hevi shot no2 and no4 in 10 bore Home loaded hevi shot no2 in 12g 3" Home loaded hevi shot no6 in 12g 2 3/4 I was lucky and bought loads of hevi shot when the dollar was 2-1
  10. I don't shoot geese over decoys any more and have not for many years I only shoot geese below the HW Mark now I have shot geese over decoys but take no enjoyment from it but three geese was my limit
  11. I pattern tested 10 gauge home loads a few years ago no 2 shot 1 3/4 Oz with longshot powder through a rem sp10 at 50 yards with open chokes This was the early shot that seemed to have more of the Nipply little bits on the pellets than they do now I have also tested 12g 1oz no 6 and 7 1/2 2 3/4 loads Patterns are really tight and in the 12g exceptionally tight so started putting spreaders in the wads to open up the patterns a bit I cannot find the pictures I took of the results
  12. Homeloads +1 you will be spoilt for choice for ever

    10bore

    In the past I've owned a couple of zabala 10 bores nothing wrong with them good solid guns
  15. I do agree with you it should be BASCs job to purchase land and in an ideal world local clubs should own / run local ground No arguments from me there The question is when will BASC pull there fingers out and start purchasing
  16. I have on the Medway Early morning flight there was no water in the creeks on getting there and the wind sock at the micro light airfield limp with no wind showing The water was coming in fast and made more than it should have I found out later the Thames barrier had been closed and the wind had changed further north pushing water up the Medway There was half a dozen fowlers caught out that morning I have a photo of my mate standing on a small bit of island We carried out all the checks that morning prior to going out but still got caught
  17. I prefer to chase pinks and the wash is the nearest too where they come in numbers I have been a member of the Kent wild fowlers and have enjoyed the time as a member they are a forward thinking club who purchase shooting land for the future I also make the trip to Scotland a couple of times a year
  18. I've known the family who run the scrap dealers for years and can see no problem obtaining some As stated I want to mix some in with roofing lead to obtain a little hardness in the shot Many thanks for all your help
  19. I've just been into my local scrap dealer and he has a large amount of lino type what sort of price should I pay him for it ? I have not made shot for a few years but did when wheel weights were made from lead What ratio lead to Lino type should I use ? The shot will be used to make game cartridges Any help will be greatly received
  20. I agree with muggins Bring back hanging in cases where it's 100% certain And no arming of police
