Well done, BASC. Good to see you on the front foot

@FilThank you for your advice, it's appreciated.

I'm looking into the options for non-lead ammunition for driven pheasants and partridges (good birds but not stratospheric). I'd be interested to hear any reports on Bioammo Blue cartridges used in the field this season, please.

Sold to Button.

5 × 12 bore chokes: skeet, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4. Light use only. Plus Teague choke case and key. £60 incl postage.

Thanks all. These older Browning's certainly look good value at the moment.

I'm tempted by a Browning B25 built in 1977. It's choked 1/4 and 3/4. Browning's website advises not to use steel shot in any of their older fixed choke guns. Is this merely because many are tighter than the recommended maximum of 1/2 choke, or is more to do with other issues (choke profile etc.)? It's a nice looking gun but I'd be happier knowing that opening the tighter choke would futureproof it. Any advice would be appreciated.

Steve Kershaw and Neil McKillop have screwcut rifles for me to a very high standard.

@B725Thanks, message sent.

@ditchmanThank you, looks ideal.

It will be for walked-up partridge.....probably a maximum of a brace at a time. Thought it would allow the birds to cool more quickly than being stowed in a game pocket.

Looking for a game carrier with half a dozen or so looped leather thongs that you can hang from a belt. Please let me know if you have one going spare.
