Cheers all. Seems steady at the moment and not too wild so fingers crossed all goes well Don't think he is going to be a big dog. He is 11.5 kg at 7 months.

7 months

Hi all, Started a topic a while back about lab or cocker and got some good comments. Just wanted to say thanks and say I went for a cocker in the end and am glad. Right little character.

I was going to get some for my 725 but noticed they only do the clay versions at the moment and they are only rated for clay carts so pointless to me when my gun does both clay and game. Settled for some Teagues in the end and can't complain.

Its descended just smaller.

Friends 5 month old cocker has 1 smaller than the other and vet suggested a castration when around a year old. Does that sound correct ?

Haha

Cheers all for the replies. It did make me chuckle regarding driving me nuts over if I got a lab. Everyone seems to say that haha.

Hi all, Looking at getting a pup but can't decide whether to go down the lab or cocker route. Does anyone have any comments or experience regarding why I should go for the cocker ? Cheers.

I personally prefer the old style cartridge, think they kill better but as most of these things are its all mental confidence.

Do you prefer them to the normal black golds ?

32g 5's

Clear pigeons are now 70 mm Sipes are 67 mm (at least the fibre versions are )

I can't fit my maxus in the cabinet with the extended choke fitted it came with haha

Is that the black extended choke you are on about ? I've just bought a maxus and haven't patterned it yet that's all.

Cheers for the Feedback guys! Welshwarrior - Glad about the rain comment. The main reason for me getting this is for those miserable days, but wasn't sure if it would hold up in really wet weather. If your friends use them pretty much every day i assume they are up to the job. Personally I don't like huge heavy tweed jackets to shoot in. They look great don't get me wrong but I feel they somewhat restrict movement and also after a while they become so heavy once the water has soaked in. I much prefer to wear a light jacket with fleece and jumper layers underneath even on very cold days. I was going to purchase a berghaus cornice III and then put a waistcoat over the top produce usable cartridge pockets but this jacket eliminates the need for that. My main concern with it being lightweight is that is may not like getting loaded up with cartridges and produce too much stress on the stitching but i have faith that they have foreseen this and it wont be an issue. As KES said some jackets can easily tear on sharp pointy objects (barbed wire / branches) so I think I may need to stick to something heavier when beating as it looks slightly vulnerable to this sort of abuse.

Hi all, Just saw this jacket and really fancy (another) new purchase, however as usual wanted to get some feedback if anyone has tried it yet. http://www.musto.com/whats-new/country-clothing/fenland-packaway-jacket-dark-moss.html

Giffgaff are known for brilliant 30 day mobile contracts but their international call rates are also excellent. http://giffgaff.com/index/international

The BG wool wads in 38 40g were available last sseason. Like you said just a marketing hype to refresh the range with the addition of wool wad in a sensible load (32g). I think I will just stick to the fibre versions and have money for an extra pint at the pub. either that or rc sipes which are considerably cheaper and I rate just as highly.

For anyone that wants the price : http://www.essexgun.com/gamecartridges.html

Might give 250 a go and see how I get on. I normally use rc sipe's but a bit pricey at the rate I've been going through them recently

That's off just cartridges my RFD will probably have them in cheaper he normally always does.

Hi all, Never see these before and wondered if anyone had used them. At 61 quid for 32g fibre 5's they appeal for blatting away at the black plague all day without hurting the pocket too much. Cheers.
