  1. hello, just cartridge have a stock of these romag fibre/ 6s/ 28g worth a try and cheaper than impax
  2. hello, what do you class as a game cartridge ? 65/70mm 28/29/30g 5/6 shot, your no 2 is a light weight game gun, forget about 70mm chambers, fixed chokes, cylinder and 1/4 which is quite open for a no 2,, what ever cartridge you put in say 6 shot will have a nominal pattern for those chokes and i do not think it would vary much with different makes, a 5 will get a tighter pattern but some might say not ideal for game, a heavier cartridge will have recoil, years ago we use to pattern a no 6 with improved cylinder to 30 yard and 30inch circle, your cylinder and 1/4 is therefore a 25 yard and 35 yard range, 5 shot would go out to 40 yard at 1/4 choke, you could try a few makes and see if any difference, my friend uses impacts 6s in his AYA no 2 with improved/half and i have seen him take pheasant at 40 yards, try google on shotgun patterns to various chokes/shot should give you some idea, good luck
  3. hello, as above and i got some off a chap who smokes a vape ?? i also have a 18650 battery checker,

  7. hello, i am another one who cannot seem to get any joy from the blow type calls, i have had some success with an electronic call but to fiddly in the dark, just bought an ICO TEC GC 101 with a remote i think ok for 100 yards my shooting range is 50/60 yards with night vision, giving it a try tomorrow night, hoping there is not to much moon light, with N/V and a cloudy night i have been able to get within that range if the wind is in the right direction, its all a learning process, on the small sheep farm i help out its lambing soon, anyone have experience of fox/foxes taking a year old lamb??? this happened 2 weeks ago, cheers
  8. hello, i recently watched a farming programme where one family are loosing some of their land, that is just one farm, must be 100s of others in the same position

  17. hello, i have a victor sarasqueta side by side side lock ejector on gun watch ? been serviced but needs a tidy on stock and barrel, shoots very good, just needs a good home £200 plus RFD fees,
  18. hello, i think we would all be more inclined to use a fibre wad cartridge being shooters who recognize the use of plastics and the detriment to the environment yet i am sure the price for a cheap pigeon cartridge does have a bearing for many, even now so many use a clay 7.5s including myself although i do not shoot much these days, do home loaders find buying plastic or fibre wads a difference in price,
  19. hello, being a tight **** thats what i used, bought from £ shop
