Really. I'd love to hear one say yes or no just once.

Assume it will be a cover crop possibly because it was too wet and too late to drill spring crops.

As it says there is no evidence of poisoning . It clearly states they have found lead shot amongst other things in ducks but no evidence of terminal poisoning as no carcass has been found to support it. Also states it passes through and is not ingested.

Why not another cabinet for your rifles i did. You'll regret it.

I am a member of GWCT and you say it's there advice but there's no evidence. Yes i use steel for pigeons i used to use lead but with BASCs support and constant publicity saying lead is bad nobody wants lead shot pigeons. Your support for a lead ban is your choice but we were never given the the choice by the organisation we pay to support us. Only time will tell if BASC will survive many of us support wildfowling clubs of which compulsory BASC membership is required and this lastest decision could have a devastating effect on them along with the withdrawn insurance membership numbers have dropped considerably the last few years. As to why will there be a lead ban BASC support it.

No. It was too late BASC already published "their support " to transition away from lead shot they never asked me i pay BASC to protect my sport obviously that hasn't happened. There never was or is any conclusive evidence on lead shot causing lead poisoning as has been shown on here. I've no reason to put you down or belittle you in any way you say your posting as a member so tell us your position on the subject not BASCs. The more you quote BASC doesn't help.

Simple really you started the posts so just answer the questions fully and honestly if you can and move on.

While they keep being paid they will follow there own agenda.

Episode 3. ???.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 👍

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.

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.

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 ???.

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.

You have to register as a primary food producer with your local council.

No. I think your right.

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.

Possibly because his next holiday will be a very long one. 😊

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.

Isuzu dmax. Under 2 ton. Doesn't mark its territory. 32 to 35 to the gallon. Comfortable ride. Off road really good. Loads of space Utterly reliable. Only downside avoid short journeys the dpf doesn't like them. Had mine 7 years from new just a pair of wiper blades replaced. And a new set of tyres.

Pretty sure they know who. Doing anything about it is a different matter.
