I phoned Kranks about a month or so ago and the courier charges to a distance band. Bristol postcode was in a band that was quoted then as £39.00 and my pal OldMan in Staffordshire, his post code produced about £29.00 carrage if I remember correctly. We were up for about 7lbs then and truth to tell I didnt ask what Kranks courier was prepared to deliver in one load, in either lbs or kilos. Would have to be a good rate when broken down as HPS in Newent (near to you I think) is advertising Vit powders at £78.00 a Kilo. If you are interested in a bulk order perhaps you can pm me and I will discuss it over the following week/s with my reloading colleges to see if we can get it down to a sensible price. We have found that the x terminator powder is far and away the best for light weight 214 bullets. The TAC powder is not far behind and works great with 30 cal.

It may be worth having a check of the c/heating pump, some time the speed mechanism fails and puts the pump to low speed. if it appears ok try turning it up a notch. I have known pumps have the rotors disconnect internally and they will sound ok but not push the hot water around. The fact that the upstairs rads are heating well indicates that they may be working on convection alone, this will still show some heat in the down stairs rads. It dosen`t sound like the system needs flushing as its been drained so often. As previously mentioned try balancing the system. Best way is to use thermostatically controlled radiator valves then it does it its self. Remember to leave one radiator with out a trv so the hot water has the ability to flow and not pressurise the pump and seals.

Kranks are advertising Ramshot powder at £39.00 per pound for those lucky enough to be in sensible driving distance. One pound of Hunter powder will provide 162 cartridges firing a 100 grain bullet at the top end load of 42 grains. If you can find the right node for accuracy using less powder, even better. At that price it does compare very favourably with Vit powder.

Had a dynamite chilli tonight which inspired me to check it out......... http://www.lnstar.com/mall/literature/chili.htm ORIGIN of CHILI CON CARNE The first American known to have remarked about San Antonio's chili con carne was J.C.Clopper, who visited in 1826. He wrote: "When they (poor famalies) have to pay for their meat in the market, a very little is made to suffice for a family; this is generally cut into a kind of hash with nearly as many peppers as there are pieces of meat-this is all stewed together." Although virtually the same as the chili con carne in the principal plaza of many large Mexican villages at that time, San Antonio's fiery dish was influenced by the Canary Islanders, who arrived in 1731. They added oregano, ground cumin seed (comino), and chopped garlic. But we can thank the people of Central Mexico for the original dish. John G.Bour, an anthropologist and U.S.Army captain stationed in Texas in the early 1890s, visited San Antonio and Northern Mexico villages while studying the folklore of foods and eating habits. He wrote: "Chili, called aji and quauhchilli by the Aztecs, was the condiment in all the feast...at the time of the landing of the CORTEZ (THE SPANISH CONQUEROR, IN 1519). There were several varieties (of peppers) the red, white, green, sweet and bitter. "No Mexican dish of meat or vegetables is deemed complete without it, and its supremacy as a table adjunct is conceded by both garlic and tomatoes, which also bob up serenely in nearly every effort of the culinary art." According to Jean Andrews in Peppers: The Domesticated Capsicums, native Americans in central Mexico have spiced their foods with fiery peppers since at least 7,000 B.C. Originally, wild meats-deer, buffalo, turkey-comprised the essence of the piquant stew. After the Spanish introduced cattle to the western hemisphere in the 16th century, beef assumed its place on the menu. Might have to try it with venison!

JDog is right The EU will do all it can to prop up Italys financial woes as it is desperate to stop the Euro failing as a currency and the member countries falling back to their original currencies. Would also put Italy in the same position as Greece unable to ever get out of its indebtedness to the European Bank so unable to get out of the intended Federation of Europe. Lets also not forget that Portugal and Spain are also in dire straits and staring into the abyss.

Looking very nice. Thanks for your explanation of the moulding, the couple of sheaths that I have made I used cling film around the finished knife and clamped the damp leather edges together and left over night in the bottom of the airing cupboard. I liked the idea of the pressed deer logo.

Ramshot hunter is good and all the Ramshot powders are compliant, I also use Vit 135 (again compliant) If you can get it Varget is fantastic but as rare as hens teeth now as it was so good across most rifle calibres. Not compliant in its present form. Whether the recipe will be changed to meet the EU Reach regs remains to be seen, but as its produced in Australia, sent to the States fore repackaging, then sent to Europe for distribution, don`t hold your breath that this is going to happen any time soon.

Well done to you. Nice write up, thank you. FB

Good luck with your day next week, lets hope the weather has settled down enough to give you the best chance of a deer on the grass.

Please let us know how you get on and your thoughts on it. FB

+1 with Fieldfare About 6 years ago (I think) when we had a prolonged cold spell with snow, we had about 30 of them flock to a yew tree at the bottom of the garden, it had a dog rose growing up through it and the rose hips were still on it. They must have been very hungry to have come into the city looking for food. They stayed around for two days stripping the hips. Snowing again now, just off to put some water out.

Sun has been out all day today in North Bristol. Not much in the way of wind either to cause a wind chill so has been dry and drying under foot. Just shook the block of ice out of the water container and replaced it with some more fresh water for the birds. Will be down to my shooting club tonight on the Mendip hills and that will defoe be cold coming back home at 2300. My other half thinks its fun fun fun as she is tucked up in bed in her thermals!

Pleased to have helped getting a positive out come. Stay warm. FB.

Concur with all that has been said so far, would also add that you need to ensure that the flue outlet is also clear as if its blocked with any debris, birds nesting, snow and ice etc that will cause the same symptoms as a restricted air intake.

Before any advise can be given we need to know the type, make and model. Its a bit vague to say oil boiler its a bit like saying I have a diesel car that wont work.

Number of noughts indicate La bala is the 10 millionth visitor. Someones been busy.

I was given the tip 50 years ago and it has worked for me. Whether you chose to use the information or not is your prerogative. I have only ever used shells and that is what the thread is about.

Great job. I also get some car grey primer and spray over the white ruff around the neck (just leave a bit of white showing). White is the danger signal for pretty much all animals and birds and can bee seen for miles. Pigeons stick their heads up if alarmed and this shows more white. Think of rabbit tails and deer tails also. I also mentioned this to a bee keeper a few years back as all his new queens were being killed by the hive, this particular year they all had dabs of white paint on them to identify them. They change the colour every year to easily identify the queens and to denote the year the colony was started off. Just my own twopennywoth.

Its free for a one for one as long as its in the time limit, think that varies from force to force though. Check the time limit with your FEO.

My partner couldn't remember her password and couldn't log on. I downloaded a program called Mailpass view, on my computer (which is free ware) onto a memory stick then plugged it into her computer. restarted the locked out computer and it showed up all the passwords on her machine. This was a while ago but should still be ok. after you are in use the memory stick to make a rescue programme and keep it in your gun safe. Good luck.

Done! As has been previously said, completely unnessesary, the law abiding will be the only ones to conform. The best way of controlling air gun practice is with proper training and education. (From one who has run an airgun club for 30+ years. To my knowledge I havent heard of a single criminal act by one of our lads and adults and many have gone on to obtain their FACs. Many of the young lads I taught now run their own farms and guess who gets to use his own firearms there. Result!!!)

No the Vit 140 is not suitable for the 270.

Pigeons can certainly recognise colour and are used bu the US Coast guard service for good reason. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOkpvEZ-p2k

Just recently pushed my .22LR up to 1200 from 400 as I had finally decided to join a club (after 40 odd years!), covering letter to Firearms dept and no problem, and no visit. Ammo variation of course no charge. All my other stuff is 600 to hold and 450 to purchase, though this is irrelevant as I home load everything else. No way would I want to hold that many loaded rounds but as I like to journey to Catton Park and Garlands, dusting the environment, I may wish to carry as many as 300 or more and this is then covered. As long as you have a good reason shouldn`t be a problem, best reason given is home loading for many different bullet weights for different quarry. That`s what I did for my 1st rifle in .243.
