    They are what I wear for wildfowling, warm and dry and at that price if they only last a couple of seasons it’s no great loss

    wonderful thank you I've just ordered  them so will see how we get on with them 

     

  3. Hello all I’m looking at getting the wife a semi auto for keepers day , pigeon, and the odd afternoon on the clays 

    now I’m thinking semi auto reduced recoil etc 

    i don’t want to spend loads so I was thinking the Revo Matrix 12g but how does the lady gun get on with them  

    i know Turkish but I have the premium game and like it  so thought of the matrix for her

     

    thank you in advance

    Reloading, using components purchased from specialist stores, will not save anything on the cheapest 12g carts bought at the 1,000 rate...................but if you are not fixated on constantly using the same powder, wads or shot, and are prepared to shop around, there can be savings to be had. Plus, if you buy a shotmaker (or build one) the savings can start to become attractive. Smaller gauges, the savings become even better. 

    For me I’m just after a cheep cartridge to use down the clay ground I don’t take it to seriously just a chilled afternoon and a bit of practice for game season to get on the pheasants and ducks  come game season I will buy carts ready done unless I find a proven mix for game 

     

  5.  I’m not sure what the p & p is for the bits from clay and game  not cheep I would think as powder and primers are dangerous goods 

     a load all is £70  carts about £10 for 100  my time well there never enough of it 

    just cartridges are 20 miles down the road so Change from £10 in fuel I hope  and no Labour time 

  6. Might sound a odd question or ramdom but is home reloading any cheaper than going out and buying a thousand for clays 

    live had a look on clay and game and got some load data etc 

    now from my working out  ( I’m bad at maths )  I would be reloading 70mm carts  for 24g 7.5 

    i will need

    powder which is £38 for a tub NOBELSPORT GM3 500g I should get just over 300 loads out of it  at 0.11 ea 

    primers box of 1k is 37.50 so 0.03 ea 

    shot 10kg7.5 lead £36. / 0.08 ea 

    Wads 500 bag £12 / 0.02 ea  

    So if I reload 300 a (tub of powder )  It works out at 24p ea or £72 for 300 or £240 per 1k  are my maths right  if they are would it not be cheaper to just go and buy 1k of tt1s for £189 at just cartridges? 

    Thanks guys 

  7. Cool thank you just seen your reply 

    we did get one we picked up a 07 plate xt ltd edition   Full leather all the Crome etc like new inside and out 

    I’m really enjoying it fuel wise it’s not bad compared to my old n plate c class but driving style has changed  and yes not as fast 

  8. How are you getting on with the Kia I have found one local to me for sale that I’m looking at tomorrow we are looking at a 07 xt with the full leather etc 

    have you tried it of road as last season I had to take the wife’s scenic to a shoot and got stuck it was not fun being pushed out on my first day at a new shoot by the guns ☺️

  9. As with reversing into a space that’s a good driving habit as your not ment to reverse from a minor to a major so a space to a road or a drive to a road etc 

    i like both and want both trading my merc for a disco  

    fuel wise I think going from lpg to anything else it’s going to feel painful
