Hart stalker

Sorry guys haven't been on PW lately due to work commitments Yes we still have some places available

Sorry guys I have been busy with work. The shoot is located at Hurworth Burn on the outskirts of Hartlepool.

No not necessarily a problem, it is always best if a young dog is introduced to the shooting field slowly anyway.

Saturdays

Syndicate members required for semi driven diy shoot , up to ten days shooting plus 10-12 evening duck flights. Shoot day emphasis on enjoying the day and the banter. Positions have become available due to three members retiring due to health reasons. Must have own insurance, shotgun cert and gundog £500 Durham

This is now sold

I have one for sale, good condition. I bought it new and it has not had a lot of cartridges through it. Based in the North East

I have Atec and DPT mods for centre fire and have tried them on my 17 but not really impressed. They both work well on my centrefire rifles. When I bought the 17 I was advised to by a SAK mod for it which I did again not really impressed. Got a Hogan air rifle mod and it is a lot better, the mod says it is rated for both .22 and 17 . The answer might be a 17 calibre specific moderator

We are located between Elwick and Trimdon in County Durham, shooting over 750 acres. Places have become available due to three members having had a change of circumstances and no longer have the time to commit to the shoot.

Cheers for the info , I now have the confidence to reload the Ralf Grant myself and that I haven't bought something that would be a head ache to own. Long live the Big bore shotguns. All the best

Thanks for that advice it now makes more sense to me that the powder needs proper ignition to prevent barrel damage.

Thanks for the info guys but now I am completely confused. Do I use smaller wads or will this reduce the gas seal? Is there a safe load that I can put through this gun without bulging the barrels? Oh I forgot to mention it is choked 1/2 and 1/2

So do I need to use smaller diameter cork/ fibre wads or will these be ok in standard 8 bore size? I have no intention of using plastic wads through this gun so plastic is not be an issue.

I have once fired Winchester cases which I have resized to suit a shotgun. The wads I have are cork and I am not entirely sure sure if they are ok for the Ralf Grant it being a bit tightly bored. I bought the components from clay and game but the load data they had to hand seemed a bit excessive for a bored out ten. I initially thought the cork would be ok but having read some stuff online about the converted 10s being under size I now have my doubts. It took me a while to find this gun and it is in good nick so I don't want to damage it by putting the wrong wads/ loads up the barrels.

Got myself a Ralf Grant 8 bore and I am looking for some recipes for reloading. I have already got some Blue dot powder and some cheddite primers but my concern is what wads to use because Ralf Grants are not a true 8 bore. I initially intend to use lead through it and when I am more confident move to non toxic shot. Have reloaded rifle rounds before but not shotgun so any advice would be most great full.
