Magic Ta

Hi guys just wondered if Dove ridge in Ashbourne is open tomorrow? (29th December) never shot there and really fancied giving it a go on one of my very few days off.

I got some Muckboots an a beer making kit! Happy days!

Never mind, I have just opened the can to find a full instruction sheet. I'm off to find my dunces cap now. :(

After trying out a ginger beer recipe on here put up by Spook. (Cracking by the way if not a little volatile!) I thought I'd try my hand at a Wilkos kit. Now after reading all the instructions on the can several times I can't seem to find the actual quantity of sugar you need to add. I was thinking just wang the whole 1kg bag in. So anyone got the magic number?

Just bottled mine up and put it in the shed to chill. Might have over done it a bit with the ginger. She's a fiery one!!

Anyone else off here going tomorrow?

Yes! Gadders!! Must be an Annesley thing we all still call them gadders too.

Alright chap. Doing a 100 by hand takes me a fair bit of time. This might be just because I'm quite anal about measuring out my powder and shot. I reckon it would take me over an hour to knock 50 cartridges out. Yeah the biggest outlay would be the drill. Then the scales. As has been mentioned by someone you can do them with a cordless but the pillar drill is far superior. The other thing I would suggest making/buying is a reloading block to hold your cases and stop them tipping over between loading processes. (If you have the drill this is easy to make. Yeah you can RTO any length of case. An most data I have found use RTO rather than a star crimp. Hope this helps.

Does it matter if its fibre or plastic wad chap?

I do mine on a pillar drill with a cheap roll turnover tool. I use pre primed new cases. I save a little bit of money but for me it's about getting exactly what I want in my shell. Just get some decent scales a piece of 9mm dowel to seat wads/cards. But I guess it's only a cheap setup because I already had the pillar drill.

me too please

I was just thinking about this the other day. Was thinking of a nice hamper of food and wine, as they have kept me fed with all the stuff they let me shoot,

I'm still needing to get started on this. How is your batch going Dave?

Ill be there.

They usually put a great spread on, plenty of nice grub.

Yep that's fine no need to enter the mod separately.

I would say getting away in the week is even harder for someone who is self employed. We don't get sick pay or holiday pay so cannot throw a sickkie or such. So I would have to sacrifice a days wages then pay to shoot on top of that,

Cheers chap.

well chap if you ever fancy a morning on the clays to get a taste of shotgunning you can come out with me some time. Send me a pm if you fancy it. I was born on the annesley rows right infront of annesley pit!

Is this the multi choke version?

Are you from Kirkby?

This was exactly how I was taught to do it.

Alright HMR I'm actually from Kirkby in Ashfield. But no one ever knows where that is so I always say mansfield area.
