  1. I think it probably will have been, I imagine it was given up at the 1996 -1997 buy out, AFAIK the 455 webley was in the 1992 guidance as obsolete then.
  2. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10336-019-01667-6?fbclid=IwAR2ZoP4pZ7Yze18lSnJz42B1bUtMjanfUXBJAAYw1vMP9hK3Gz24-5YR1TE
  3. Interesting video Mudpatten some good points raised and explained. The haters are going to hate its just the way they are you can not reach these its pointless trying to, all you can do is support BASC and the other organisations in their uphill struggle against the opponents of our sport .
  4. Yes agree well done BASC given the time allotted a fantastic job.
  5. Some time around 1996 1997 Expanding ammo became a requirement on your certificate if you wanted to buy use own any , at the time if you had an old cert you had to send it back get expanding put on> if you were a target shooter you would not be granted that condition. If you wanted to shoot vermin with solids it was up to you, i have shot many rabbits with T 22 winchester and eley tenex. If Dundee wrote you a letter or not is down to them and how they chose to advise it had no weight in law.
  6. Neither have i but its not a moot point Magpies kill birds raid nests, NE agree and why ON SSSI we shoot we got them down on the consent GL or not.
  7. This is correct it was a purchase issue possession. not USE you can use what you want . The Expanding Ammo thing came in just after Dunblane 96 AFAIK.
  8. Its always been whatever you wanted to use, you might be getting mixed up with some guidance or recommendation from some where but in law as far as i know its never been any different.
  9. It is legal to use solid bullets.
  10. Sadly i agree with this and being a sceptic think this news could have been timed to slow down the amount evidence submitted to DEFRA.
  11. Sad news he was a great comedian .
  12. Why are we still paying for a TV license? I would think support to stop paying that and thus pull the plug on the BBc would have been easy to find.
  13. The registration with NE and the Application for the appropriate licence is the only way you can use the new general licence. Yes or no.? Is this it now is this the permanent situation from now on, yes or no? if NO! are we now going to go through sorting out the general licence through proper consultation. Yes or no.?
  14. You could narrow it down even more by reloading, then ammo is always available no matter where you are.
  15. .243 is more than enough Deer Act 1991 states minimum calibre and minimum muzzle energy (.240" and 1700 ft/lbs) for the lawful shooting of Deer in England. But for fallow red and sika in Sctland and northern ireland you need 1700 ftlbs n ireland 100 grain and scotland 1750ftlbs and 2450 fps 100 grain. .243 will do the job but these are minimum requirements in law here, you can go bigger and have more choice in bullet weights bullet construction and performance.
  16. Get a 2506 brilliant round fast flat you have from 75 to 120 grain bullets at good velocity, available in a many different rifles.
  17. What do you all think is key to making the owl decoy work well, is it possitioning of owl or a better looking decoy over the plastic decoys, Would flocking or feathering a plastic help or is a stuffed owl needed for best results do you think.? Interesting you two had results with plastic decoys and i like the crow in claws touch that sounds it could be worth pursuing at some point.
  18. You might not get every 24 and 28 gram load to work in the hatsan, you will have to try a few different ones until you find a powerfull type of cartridge. I am sure something will function it, try RC SIPE they go well. Remember gas semi auto guns have lower felt recoil than the inertia driven guns, benelli have those springy rubber cush drive stocks (comfortech) to try and adsorb recoil in the SBE models these days, their attempt to help reduce the felt recoil in inertia driven gun shooting magnum ammo. My experience with inertia guns is that if you have them cleaned and oiled right they work fine, i have to admit though i have seen A benelli M2 hang up more than i would have wanted in a pigeon hide, they were using hull high pheasant and that gun did not like that ammo at all. So i dont feel Inertia guns are as full proof as they are often said to be. In the cheap semis i would get a Baikal myself but nothing wrong with hatsans and some others, you want to shop around see whats available, there are other options these days, young bloke in our club as a ATA he likes it and never seen it jam yet. The armsan A 612 and 620 get good reviews some on this forum have them they seem popular. My advice is Semi auto Baikal ..
  19. Thanks for reply, i never had much success with my owl decoy i might give it a try again, some videos on you tube seem to show them working , i think i have not been using it in the right situations.
  20. Used SRM Terror .705 Rem choke £100 posted UK & Mainland .
