  1. Fiocchi sell a 35g 70mm cartridges which I thing works as well as any 3” I have tried, but bit cheaper. Comes in 2s and 4s. 32g Gamebores are ok too.
  2. I do like my possum fur hat I bought on the Ray Mears website. Wear it for dog walking and for most things in the winter. It’s warm, light rain resistant but breaths (too well if it’s windy and cold). Might get another before anything comes in. Can’t see the difference between wool and leather. On my second now as my Labrador puppy at the time decided to make my original in to a scarf by chewing the top off. That is still used too.
  3. I was just browsing the bbc news pages and I came across this. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-56495443 Bit odd from the bbc.
  4. For sale mec size master 10 bore Model sm82 i bought this with the intention of reloading by own but have not manage to get around to it or buy a 10 bore. £120 collection in Wigan
  5. I have had a fox bite my rotary wing duck decoy while on the marsh.
  6. My Winchester did eject Lyalvale express English Sporter. Not had a problem with others and Lyalvale game cartridges in 67mm. I’d try another box of cartridges first.
  7. Oregon powersharp chainsaw bar with sharpener attachment. 16” 56 link 0.05 gauge chainsaw bar. Bar can be used with any chain that fits but also can run the Oregon powersharp chain for easy sharpening. £18 each plus postage or collection from Wigan. https://www.amazon.co.uk/OREGON-542314-16-inch-Powersharp-Drive/dp/B0049D9RJY/ref=asc_df_B0049D9RJY/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=232020729251&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12460208628581101127&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007230&hvtargid=pla-420702618399&psc=1&th=1&psc=1
  8. I can say my partner is working planning lessons, meetings at a load of other stuff she tells me about but I don’t listen. She is also 5 months pregnant and there is not a chance she is going anywhere near a school, children or other staff. Especially as the reason is economic rather than scientific.
  9. Fiocchi 35g are 70mm I have used the no2 quite a bit. they are supposed to be used in a steel proof gun, but that is your choice. I used them in a 3” chambered basque sxs and a 2 3/4” Winchester auto.
  10. I will confess I have put a metal snap cap in my Winchester semi auto and broke the extractor claw. I was seeing how to safely unload the gun as I wanted to familiarise myself before taking it out.
  11. My vet recommended not have my Labrador neutered for reasons highlighted above in the paper. She did recommend if I really wanted to is to trial the implant which I did. For the first 6 weeks I thought it did nothing but when it kicked in he is a lot calmer and no longer jumping on ever bitch he sees. Did make he’s balls smaller though. That was about 6 months ago so time will tell with him.
  12. Subaru Outback. Mine does 45mpg average with mostly small runs. Pretty comfy too.
  13. I keep a can of butcher tripe in my car for my lab, when we go rough shooting. I feed him when I have my soup.
  14. Are they better than the 70mm 35g steel? As they where £76 for a slab of 250 when I bought them in September. I can’t complain about them. Again if they work well it is worth it.
  15. I Saw one walking my dog in near Wigan yesterday morning.
  16. The Aldi ones are very good and cheap, I normally use that wildfowling. Got a rab one that’s a merino blend and not as warm but better for most of the winter when active.
  17. I will recommend skellerup quatro sports. A bit on the heavy side but good ankle support. Been great on hills rough shooting and on the marshes as they are warm. Not very stylish though.
  18. I got maxxis ap2 on my Subaru Outback. Fitted last October and I have done about 8k on them. They are ok for normal driving conditions and motorways etc. I made a point of testing them the one day I had snow last winter and I could get up my local hills and stop no problem. The treads is still ok after summer driving. And seem ok for £95 per tyre on 225/60/17. Much better than the cheap all season I had on my old Ford Focus I got from Asda tyres.
  19. I just bought some Saucony Gore-Tex trail running shoes from go outdoors for £60. They are comfortable but a little warm when running. Not a problem in colder weather. If it is particularly wet and muddy it’s better just to wear my non waterproof my inov8 as you feet get wet anyway as the shoe is only below the ankles.
  20. Perhaps he meant 10 kilometres. Plus the point was you don’t know where the bullet will land.
