  1. Sad news of a 6 year old dying in hospital following being shot with a pellet gun. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-44980034
  2. Waz welcome to the forum.? Just to help there is a section on the forum for requesting shooting.
  3. Cause it beats flossing?
  4. Which side of Swindon? and what are the dates?
  5. Never really thought about nobel.?
  6. I didn't want to go there. But now you mentioned it........ ? OK at the risk of setting the thread aflame. Have you tried fibre. This is a genuine question ?
  7. I have actually been looking at going back to paper. Not a lot of choice, but surprisingly not a prohibited price. On aside note I work in a industry that uses plastic, and it is a serious pain in the **** finding a way to get it recycled. Cool?
  8. Now this is one passionate debate. I think it is always going to come down to the individal preferance and this we should respect.
  9. some times you need to see it in context to understand the impact.
  10. Never had a problem with A&S always found them most helpful.
  11. I agree with Bluebarrels. Personnally I can see the argument on both sides. I am sure that someone will come up with a suitable and realistic opion, that is commercially viable to replace plastic and I look forwards to that day. Near to where I am there is a very large commecial shoot. At the end of the season employ people to walk the fields and collect the plastic wads/cartridges. I have not seen it but I was told by the keeper of a neighbouring shoot that they fill a skip with the wads. It is after all down to your personal prefrence. Me personally if I can avoid using plastic I will, but if I am using steel, or looking to improve a pattern density then plastic it is.
  12. Blue dot now there is a powder that bring a smile to my face.
  13. Cheers guys. I am in the middle of moving house so everything is on hold at the moment, but I will start reloading as soon as the dust has settled. I use the RC21gram, they performs very well, if they are not available I fall back on Gamebore Regal 25gram 5s. I tend to use the 28 for woodland and hide shooting.
  14. I find this an excellent forum try to view at least once a day. Always someone to offer advise or knowledge. Its a bit like being in a pub but without the booze
  15. Yes it is patterned it the other day, very happy. Thank you ?. It will be my carry gun when out and about, and on beaters day when picking with the dogs. As I have mentioned in a previous post my lad uses a 16o/u and swears by it. I am surprised that it went out of popularity. They are a nice weight gun with a cartridge that can give you all the results of a 12. Even now when we are at the clay ground people raise there eybrows when learning it is a 16.

    Brilliant rifle no need for a moderator as very quiet. Fantastic accuracy.
  17. ok alittle bit of research and and my AYA was built in 1979.
  18. Yes it was. Sorry I don't remember.
  19. OK things are getting ?. For years an o/u man. Then for some reason I take myself down to the local auction promising myself that I was not going to buy anything.... Two hours later out I walk with a Aya #3 16 bore, and a huge smile.
