No, calling police is not a requirement, can even get you into more trouble as they make a note of it and if you don't phone at certain time to say you are clear, they will phone you or send someone out to find you.

Have a look at casting your own in lead if doing low velocity, cast boolits are good, rather than using fmj.

How many bedrooms in house, this is a single chamber tank so no additional treatment, where will discharge go? If you are on the light sandy/gravel loam common around doncaster should have no problems meeting infiltration standards.

Generally add 7 inches to standard length, i.e. LOP 14 inch, barrels 28 inch, action 7 inch, total 49 inches or thereabouts. Most are in region of 49 to 51 inch, with 30 inch barrels being 51-53 inches. Most tall gun cabinets can just handle a 28inch semi without extended chokes. A612 looks to be about 49 inch in 28 barrels, similarly to sx3

Cess pit or septic tank, didn't think building standards liked cess pits any more....

Consequence of EU regulations if they want to collect Single Farm Payment grant. Pigeons round me have liked last years cover crop all year, though half of it has just been min tilled and put into winter rape.

If it is proofed to 1370bar, 1200bar or 1200kg you can put any steel through it including HP steel, if 850bar or 900kg, standard steel loads only. Keep the choke at half or below and should be fine.

Before spending money and changing things, I would pattern the gun to see what it is choked with your normal cartridges and range? You may be surprised what the actual choke pattern is as often it is not what it says on the barrel.

Halfords is and always was expensive and simply has gotten worse over time, however for people who can't be bothered to go to motor factors or shop around or want to get hands dirty changing a bulb or wiper blade, there is still a need, even if a premium price and that is what they rely on.

All standard magnum (CIP superior) guns are proofed at 17400 psi (1200bar crusher with 1370bar equivalent transducer method, 1200kg, 4 t/sq inch), and all Superior CIP HP Steel cartridges are max 15229 psi (1050bar). HP Steel is safe for most modern magnum guns as long as the appropriate steel wad is used with half choke or less (whether Fleur or not) as nearly all guns are manufactured for the international market (including the USA) and dimensions of barrels are the same no matter which country they go to, even though they may be proofed to differing levels in the country they are imported into). HP steel also do not reach anywhere near the CIP max of 15229psi and nearly all commercial HP cartridges, average around, 11000psi to 13000psi and max out at around 13500 to stay under 14000 psi to meet SAAMI (USA) standards. A 3" 410 magnum with 18g to 21g lead load runs at 11000psi to 13500psi and magnum 410s are only proofed to the same superior proof of 1370bar (1200 bar) as 12 bores.

Problem isn't the guns but the society!

Another 4 with 22rf in last few days, 2312

As long as a 3inch mag beretta and using half choke or less, should be fine. Gamebore Super Steels, do say game steels are suitable for 2 3/4 standard guns on their website and UK CIP spec for competition steel loads.

They are using solid copper bullets for deer stalking, again to minimise lead as apparently all lead is bad. Makes a nice AP round....

Had them in one of the work ponds, would take ducklings, newts, frogs, toads etc and were dinner plate sized, having been there for at least 15 years. needed gun, took care of them early one morning.

Peanuts.........

My bolts in the receiver, barrel is free float (2002 452 Varmint)

If you are in Currie, Morton Clay targets is just a couple miles southwest of you at mid calder.

In a limited water, perch will suffer the same homogeneous fate as rudd though not quite as bad as they will predate their own if a few larger ones survive.

Nickel plating is better, been produced for years and works well. Copper plating is not as hard as Nickel and not any great increase in lubrication, over nickel. Interestingly in machining, lead is added to copper for lubrication. Copper wash is a gimmick.

Not all cartridges/chokes work together and the cartridges may be fine through another gun. Might be worth splitting one open and checking weight and pellet number, to make sure you have got what it says on the box. All you can do is change again until you find another which works.

I can't ever recall the Eley data changing within the diaries, certainly in the last 25 years and contrary to what manufacturers would have us believe, whilst on average we may have had small increases in velocity, really the big move was black powder to smokeless and most change has been incremental since then, I have my own excel tables for lead, shot and bismuth but as a check, I also have an American pdf of tables (originally printed in Shotgun Sports Magazine which provides data that is very similar to what Eley quotes for for clay loads, and a programme called Shotgun Sim by Black Bart Software where I can play about with the data and loads at will (but again american sizes) and isn't perfect but does all the calculations at touch of a button. With regards Eley cartridges, 325 (1060), i believe is observed at some where about 3-5 yards as there is definitely a super sonic crack off the cartridges that I use, and you don't get that below 1125ish. I will try and put some over my chrono and see if i can get a reading in next day or two.

Gut wrench is on Youtube being used but comments on other forums is that people stop using it or it eventually breaks, should really be stainless. Plucker not tried but have seen its big brother work and very effective using same fingers but mess is mostly contained within the drum, whereas this plucks externally... feathers everywhere?.

A few triploid 2lb rainbow will soon help restore the pond size structure. Find out when your local fishery is being stocked and see if they can make a side trip to you on stocking day with a dozen fish.

My apologies, this is the minimum I would consider, my preferred 12 bore load pigeon load for improved and half chokes is 32g 6.5 which gives me roughly 220 pellets in the 30 inch circle, half choke at 40 yards. 707/180 gives a pellet every 3.9 (say 4 square inches), a pigeon has approximately 20 square inches of area total, 6 square inches of vital area (heart, lungs, brain, neck), with a further 3 square inches being incapacitating (spine, major wing bones). 180 pellets should give me with half choke at least 2- 3 pellets to drop the bird through something vital and up to 3 striking elsewhere within the full flesh area of the bird (not including feathered area - silhouette - which would take up to another 4 strikes). Carrying out autopsies over a number of seasons has backed this up, with a surprising high number of broken wings compared to the actual vulnerable area they represent. Pheasant/Duck (Mallard), i am looking for similar strike rates, so: - 707/150, gives a pellet every 4.7 square inches. Total area is roughly 36 square inches Vital area is roughly 12 square inches, incapacitating area a further 4 square inches. 150 pellets should give me about 3 pellets in birds vital area, with a possible 4 pellets elsewhere on the body and a further 4 pellets striking the silhouette. Similarly with Goose, i am looking at strike rates as I go for pattern over individual pellet energy, so: - 707/75, gives a pellet every 9.4 square inches. Total area is roughly 70 square inches Vital area is roughly 20 square inches, incapacitating area a further 10 square inches. 75 pellets should give me about 3 pellets in birds vulnerable area, with a possible 3 pellets elsewhere on the body and a further 4 pellets striking the silhouette. If that makes sense?
