So cost about 1 pound to reload? I pay 1.25 for federal or Sako game head

Looks over the moon!

I see, I assume the recycling centre aren’t going to be over the moon either...

What do you guys do with these if not reloading? Do they have a value - scrap dealers?

Brill thanks guys, have found a supply of Sako game head close to work, so will give those a go APOLOGIES .. the Federal are 100 gr (I no longer had the paper box) Looking forward to finding some prvi..

Thanks guys.. Yes I was starting with the cheapest the shop had 21 quid for the Winchesters, makes sense to me, I’ll see how the federal i have go - would the 95 be much different to 100? Unfortunately no privi in the shop I got gun from and take the point about range vs real life.. its the lighter barrel, the gun it heavy enough as it is!!

Great, thanks!

Thanks, I’ve got a feeling the gunshop I’m going to tomorrow might...

Think it’s a wind up

Hi Guys Picked a Howa 243 up today and need some suggestions for rounds to try, will be used for fox, muntjac and Roe. Currently have a few Federal something shock in 95gr from other gun (Browming likes them) and some Winchester X in 100gr Dont want to pay more than £30 per box really Any suggestions for others to try?

Ouch! Although weird how some of the reviews are written by people who can’t afford then and don’t own them, how can they give ratings?

Write a letter ‘enclosing’ cash and send recorded signed for delivery, don’t enclose cash, when challenged say it was included hence signed for delivery so they must have received it, can’t prove a negative...

Thing is, to the dealer, it’s a business transaction, end of. Equally the kid wasn’t sentimental about it like an enthusiast would be, good trade I’d say.

Excellent, thanks I hadn’t realised, I’m shooting a friends a bolt on Saturday so will decide then

Great idea! Thanks

25p per pigeon here, same as Partridge.... Estate pays 50p per Squirrel tail, youngest son is paying his mates 25p and pocketing the difference

Duck flighting on private reservoir, hides for 4 guns, max bag 12 birds amongst team, £100 per gun, guide with a Dog included, BBQ at start or end of session to suit, teams only please. These are wild birds (although reservoir fed) so no guarantees on numbers but sticking to limit harder than reaching it. 25% overage permitted at cost, after which team must cease shooting, any overage cost in aid of GWCT. Friday or Saturdays 25% surcharge, no Sundays obviously, full days available by negotiation. Friendly picturesque location in Suffolk

At game dealer rates and average salary you would need to shoot 400 per day 5 days per week, with a normal 40 hour week that’s 50 pigeons per hour to make a living... if you then net off cartridges making 5p profit per bird based on £200 per thou and shooting one for one you would need to shoot 5 times this amount so 250 birds per hour or 16,000 per week, and sell that size..Every week including roosting/flighting in windy winter... Good luck everyone. Harnser makes a good point, above assumes walking to and from shoot and having game dealer collect and no cap ex for initial equipment or replacement..

Hilux truck?

Nuts, shame you are so far away...

Thanks fellas, these burds won’t be super high based in tonight’s recon, no more than a sensible Pheasant so maybe 40 yArds, will try 36 no1

Another vote for fort for magnets, I screwed one of the longer countersink ones to the end of stick and expoyed it on then built up layers of epoxy as a lacquer sanding each time then painted black and then clear varnish over the whole thing a few times, looks fine and has a 20kg ish pull... surprises a few on the gun bus when it sticks to the floor..

Echo your comments, I’ve had an affinity in camo for two years now and wouidn5 part with it, I had it converted to 9+1 and it operates flawlessly. APARANTLY made in Bannelli factory and is older Benelli tech..

He’s asked for Pm so you wouldn’t see responses, no response from him via PM so far...

This sums it up pretty well .. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Sloanes
