    I use a Discovery 3  commercial.  A van and a car all in one.    240K miles and just wear and tear repairs.

    Have to remember it's a van and 10 mph slower in some places.

    Its a car derived van so same speed limits as a car

  2. The hand out aren't helping ether!

    As I understand it illegal migrants are not able to work legally. If they are then any company (the directors) employing them should be fined out of existence  and the migrants deported.

    but that won't happen.

     

  3. I some times wish I could tell one from another as I've got a couple of bottles that should be good.

    A Lagavulin 16 year old single malt and a bottle of 1970's Haig Dimple.

    Trail Boss isn't a good example as it's designed to be a bulky powder that's hard to over load.

    If we're talking 38 special and 357 Mag then it is not uncommon for people to use 38 data in 357 brass if they know what they are doing. That's not to say all 38 data can be used and with the NRA insisting you use published data on NRA ranges it's worth searching for the data.

    It is worth looking around though as data often varies from book to book and online. 

    What do you want to load?

    looking at reloading .32 H&R mag to full energy and down to around .32 acp energy. As both 32 h&r and 32acp aren't easy to come by now. Trouble is not exactly spoiled for chose with components

    Different cartridges should be loaded with their specific data from the powder maker's website. The same with 38 Special v .357 Magnum v .357 Maximum or .44 Special v .44 Magnum v .444 Marlin. 

    Ok, so 38sp 90grain bullet Trail Boss powder start load 3 grains max 5 grains 357 mag 90 grain bullet Trail boss powder start 3.5 grain max 5 grain.

    44sp 165 grain bullet trail boss powder start load 4.8 grain max 7 grain 44mag 165 grain bullet trail boss powder start load 6 grain max 8 grain.

    The powder loads over lap so what would be the problem putting the 38sp start load in a 357 mag case? The other way round yes I can see that could be a problem.

    444 marlin is a rifle case and is completely different in everything but the rim diameter.

    I have heard that this is well used method of disposal.

    We have all seen in the papers etc pheasants and BOP dumped on the side of the road and Ive picked up deer waste that has been dumped in gate ways or ditches on the side road so I know it happens but the old storys of shot badges being dumped all over the roads is rubbish I'm sure it has happened but I've picked up getting on for 300 that were all sent for PM and not one of the had been shot.

  7. One for the reloaders that have more experience than me.

    I'm looking at reload for one of my guns as its a struggle to get some of the ammo for it, reloading standard  rounds is not a problem (been reloading for my 243 for some years without blowing anything up or off) but i would like to load some lower energy rounds as well. So is it just a case of adding lest powder from the starting load until I get to what I am after or am I missing something?

    There has been an increase in both dead deer and dead badgers around this part of the Lincs/Cambs border recently.

    Tomorrow I've got to pick up 5 deer, 6 badgers and a fox that have been kill on the roads around here, I picked up 2 deer and 3 badgers on Saturday.

    In general terms it would not be possible.  The battery in an electric car is effectively the floor pan. Difficult to find someway of concealing the battery 

    Also, most classic cars are not actually worth that much and most are declining in value. Generally speaking, most classic cars appeal to a certain generation and the evidence is that generation (mine effectively) is getting older, less able to do the work on them.

     

    Apart from the fact it has been done, the bloke in one of our units brother has hes series 3 converted. I think it cost about 20k and the bloke it no fan of elon musk but still has tesla battery and motor in his land rover 😕

    I do. We've all continued to blindly vote Conservative or Labour!

    "because they're the only partys that aren't a wasted vote"

    Unfortunately myself included, well not labour, but you know what I mean.

    If we want change we need to vote it in.

    You can only do that if there is someone to vote for!

  11. I was given a felled oak tree to clear a couple of years ago, the trunk was about 31/2 foot across but my little old stihl wasn't big enough so i bought a cheap Hyundia saw with a 20 inch bar my thinking was if it lasted long enough to cut that up i could chuck it in the bin and still be quids in. The saw is still going and so is the fire wood!

    So depending how much you are planning to use it they might be worth a look.

    its a copy of an older stihl saw i think.
