  1. I have had problems breathing through my nose for years, the only spray that works at all is Nasonex and I believe that it is prescription only. It is worth seeing your Doctor though, new things come along all the time !
  2. Had my jab on Tuesday at Boots, right on time and straight out again ! No side effects either.
  3. Well worth the effort !!!!
  4. 41p per clay at Bisley Pay and Play.
  5. The 302 and 303 are the best semi-autos ever, I would never get rid of mine !
  6. Both of my semi autos (Beretta 391 and a 30 year old 303) cycle 24 gm Eley Olympic Blues without any problem. I think the length of the cartridge is important, light loads in 65 and 67 mm cases seem to jam before they slide into the chamber the Olympic blues are in a 70 mm case.
  7. Three horseflies and three ticks in the last few days, the horseflies in the back garden and I suspect that the ticks got on me as I walked through some long grass where the deer have been.
  8. I have a near identical oily rag and it came from an old cotton shirt that had a brushed finish on the inside, the type that you could buy at the game fairs £5 each. I suspect it is the 100% cotton that makes it so good !
  9. We do mountain walking holidays in Southern Austria most years and the horse-flys there are wicked ! I react badly and have found that the best cure is neat TCP applied with a cotton bud ASAP on the bite. Needs repeating a few times but works well !
  10. I was there, our gamekeeper didn't know there were that many people in the whole UK ! A great day !
  11. Naga Munchetty, a right royal pain and Chris Evans.
  12. Brierly guns have them in stock @ £34 if you get stuck.
  13. I've seen the 2018 one, same size as last year. Lack of interest made me forget to check the 13 month format! As with others here I always have a paper diary, no batteries !
  14. Great to see the figures, I suspect that lots of shooters (my mates included!) think that cartridge velocity is gauged by the recoil !!
  15. I have been in the same position, my MK38 started to hurt. I now shoot a Beretta 391 Urika and 24 gm cartridges - the change has been well worthwhile ! At an "Away day" I fired 260 cartridges and went home with no injury and only minor stiffness of my shoulder the next day. Best of luck with your choice.
  16. We had just moved house and the tele was sitting on a dinning chair near a window to "catch the signal". I remember how shocked my parents were - it was not a good time for a boy of 11 to ask questions !!
  17. I killed one that had been under a cardboard box in the garage this week,it was moving around waking up,
  18. I use the CSP Competition, one of the smoothest shooting cartridges i have found, (since they did away with my Gamebore "High Tecs"). Who remembers those?
  19. Ring "Test Valley Guns" on 01256 770872, Dave (the owner) runs the shoot. On alternate Sundays the "Three Counties" Shoot is on a few miles away. Best of luck !
  20. I was given some of these a few years back, in a red tube with a silver base. They were a good pigeon load (especially for free!!) but if I remember correctly they did not always eject. Any bird I hit was dead though.
  21. Yes Long Sutton is still going ! Good little shoot, they do have a website with dates and details.
  22. If those measurements are the bore (18.5mm) and the tightest part of the choke then the restrictions will be 1.1mm and 0.6mm which in english equals .043" (full) and .024" (half) ! But as dougall has correctly stated you need to fire at a pattern plate to determine the true result.
  23. If its Gamebore you're after, try the EVO. I think they're as good as the Blue Diamond and smoother than the velocity. The last 1000 that I bought (fibre wad) were £186 from SCATS
