  1. Hi. I load 20 gauge steel with maxam ssb150 although very little left now. i read on the net csbo was a similar powder but there's no data I've seen for it. There is some data for 410 steel using it so maybe someone has got some tested 20 gauge loads. Good luck.
  2. Well that sums it up. Wonder if BASC will do the right thing and actually fight it accordingly. I would have thought its certainly in there interest although they seem very reluctant to commit the so called fighting fund or as it has been called redundancy fund.
  3. Well that puts them just over 8 to a gramm 5 shot is 10/11 to gram so they come out pretty much the weight of standard steel. All we need is the wads they use available in various calibers and were good to go. Doubt we'll get them though.
  4. Not a deer. Driving home one night a few years ago felt a massive thump at the front of my pickup. Stopped to find a huge badger wedged between the front near side wheel and inner wing it took ages in the dark to get it out finally managed to do it with a hide pole, blood and guts everywhere.
  5. Lots of info on previous posts. I use rattle can grey primer and matt white emulsion. Works for me. Top tip spray the top of your cradles white easier to find if the decoys come off in the crops. 👍
  6. Well said but I'm pretty sure basc and the rest of them already know what's coming, we certainly do. The point of damage limitation has long past its just a matter of when not how any longer.
  7. There was a program a while back about a Bulgarian small holder. Came to England claimed various benefits whilst driving round in a van everyday collecting and selling scrap. Then returned home to collect his pregnant wife to have the baby here followed by further claims for child benefits. Has now returned home with over £40000 and bought more land and still receives various benefits.
  8. 2.2kg powder £45 ——————— Really that’s a lot of powder for 500 .410 but at that price buy as much as you can afford. Definitely where are you getting powder at that price ???.
  9. Thankyou! I put up a post about a .410 pump and was put off a bit by the lead ban, but with a possible 5 year transition…..if I stock up on ammo, I could have 5 years worth of fun?? im a glass half full kinda guy, so just needed it explaining in a proper simple way. As said if you want one just get one. Plenty of decent second hand ones out there.
  10. You have to register as a primary food producer with your local council.
  11. No. I think your right.
  12. You could try gamebore 7.5 (2.5 mm) 28gram steel clay cartridges work fine decoying at sensible distances. There about the cheapest option for 12 gauge.
  13. Possibly because his next holiday will be a very long one. 😊
  14. Plenty of these available at agricultural stores £68 + vat. There not very good though i haven't had a full string burn to the end the slightest wind blows them out. Only option is to hang them in a metal drum i suppose.
