Another brilliant video.Thanks Simon

It will be an interesting tournament for Wales and England with new coaches.Its a great series and I have been lucky to go to several games. Tha atmosphere at Murrayfield remains a highlight.

I use auto glym it's pretty good but not that cheap.My wheels are black and they show brake dust a lot but if I keep on top of them it's fine.

Preferred a leather apron personally.

Bang on with that.I have done exactly the same bought my first from a hardware shop and a sheath knife when i went from cubs to scouts.and still carry a small legal folder every day.Its a tool and I use it a lot. The kitchen knives are way more dangerous than any I have carried.

Been quite a few on the fylde coast.

I used wire wool in the later stages.very fine wire wool from screwfix I think.

I've done a couple of my old guns with lacquered stocks by drawing a stanley knife blade towards me.between two thumbs and index fingers going with the grain.Turned out very well.Oiled them to finish

Agree there I always check the water and regular partial changes.

I do this already.

Apologies cherry shrimps

Quite like the look of these shrimps to go in my tropical fish tank,along with the fish.Has anyone on here done it or is it a no no.Any tips please.

Can you post a couple of pics.Are there any markings indicating chamber length near the proof marks.

Stuff where there was no electricity.Field work etc.Or where the power supply couldn't cope with a big welder continuously.Another use was on the deck of a ship.

That looks really good I bet it smelt amazing during the cooking.You have a new talent.

The same here.I thought it was just me but practice really does pay off.

Yes we used allsorts too,but usually the Winchesters.They were available everywhere.

I'm guessing that you were using winchester AA100's as most of us did.

There is something special about blackpowder and muzzle loaders maybe it's due to the connection of history.I just like seeing both.

So onto the next question.I have been gifted some steel cartridges a few years ago.I have been shooting for around 45 yrs but have never used anything but lead. None of my guns are steel shot proofed.I have possibly the chance next year of having a couple of days mixed shooting with the chance of a duck or two.I know the debate around steel shot and guns will rumble on.I also know my Beretta 302 should handle anything through a skeet choke. However I cannot use it on the shoot so would I be able to use the cartridges below through my Winchester 101 with 1/4 chokes in it I am not really clued up on steel cartridges at all.Just looking for advice in reality I know it's at my own risk.

Will see if I can find it again thank you

Thanks couple more pics.

Years ago when the wetland lead ban first came in I bought some bismuth cartridges then the syndicate folded and never shot a duck since.Looking through some of my kit I came across these which I think may be the bismuth ones.But there's nothing on them to say so.a Google search shows them but with foreign descriptions so I am none the wiser. Please could anyone advise me from the pictures.And could they be fired through a lightly choked gun?

Will have a look for one next time I'm in the gunshop.Are they a lot better.Had guns for over 40 yrs and never had one.

Could this be pinned please in food and drink.
