Whereabouts in Essex are you? I'd be happy to help you out. I won't claim to be an expert but been reloading and making my own shot for many years
-
I have used lots of these since their release. They are a good cartridge. No better or worse than any other. I've used the 3's on the shore and 5's on my pond and both do the job. I have used the 28g 7's on clays too but as yet do not see any need as I shoot lead with a fibre wad

Sorry, £200 including postage

You repeatedly harp on about your claim that we didn’t know what we were voting for! We did. Why is it so difficult to understand?
We voted to leave; it is the politicians who are besotted with a ‘deal’. If we’d just said we’re going, and then done so, instead of our politicians making a complete **** up of it all, then we’d be out by now and busy getting on with our lives.
Ain't that the truth. We should have walked away 2 years ago with no deal. By now EU companies would be falling over themselves to deal with us. Companies like VW Audi aren't going to live with a 40% cut in turnover for many hours

Many years ago Phil at Essex Shooting school wrapped the pad on my gun with black insulating tape. He take a while to do it but when he had finished it never caught again. He did 3 or 4 vertical strips on the face of it which were neatly trimmed around the join with the wood and then put a couple of wraps of the side of the pad to neaten this all up. it lasted for years and it never grabbed again.

I had a 10 bore auto but it was hopeless for ducks. It was too heavy to swing after a teal that flashes past you. The 12 isn't.

Gamebore Mammoth 3.5" BB's are an awesome cartridge, they will do all you need at normal (Non Dave Carrie or Perazzishot) ranges.

It is, but I would be asking why you want a gun?

Two of the leave voters closest to me will openly now say that they were manipulated and they feel betrayed by the leave campaign promising something that was not realistic.
So SOME people have had enough and SOME people have changed their minds and the change of mind can work both ways of course.
Some of us, and I venture also some of those who voted leave, have also had enough of what appears to be a minority of hard line Brexiteers thinking the vote to leave gives them a justifiable platform to speak for all of the 17.4 million as a single voice. It's a fundamentally flawed line of reasoning and if indeed the downfall of Brexit comes to pass then it will have been a contributing factor.
I voted leave, and to be honest I am sick of the whole shambles. We voted to leave, not to pander to the EU and keep going back to them cap in hand begging. We should have left the day after evoking article 50 and the negotiating would be done and dusted now. May is on the ropes and the EU will land the final blow shortly. It has been said time and time again any negotiation you cannot walk away from is not a negotiation. The EU know she will not walk away so they can continue to take the ****.
They would be shafted if the UK walked away today and they know it, however they also know May will never do it.
They NEED to deal with us, they cannot survive without us. Yes a no deal may hurt for a bit, but it will hurt them way more. VW, Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Bosch, Miele, and many many more will not take to kindly to a huge drop in their annual turnover and profit.

Very hit and miss this, others I have read say the wad breaking up like that is a poor quality wad ... although no idea what effect it has on the pattern.
It has no effect on the pattern, the wad by the time it (if) breaks up is way behind the shot. I have loaded this type of wad for years and never had any issues. If i miss it is because I didn't put the shot in the right place.
It is not a poor wad, it is just a different construction. No different to the petals on a plastic wad, some break off, some don't. Some don't even open up properly but it has no effect on the shot as that has already left it behind

The last ones I saw on a shelf in a gunshop was in Mallard Barn shop near Stowmarket. I haven't been there for years so wouldn't know if they still have any

Really?
I always thought it meant the carts were rubbish?
Not at all, it means the 'fibre' wad is actually thousands of layers of paper pressed together and it is coming apart. The evo wads from FES are like this and are excellent wads

The only disadvantage to 110v is lugging a transformer around if you go anywhere else. But having said that if you ever need to go on site it is allowed. As you already have a transformer I would save the £100

Perhaps some of you loading guys can tell me the cost per cartridge for loading 1oz of 6s, plaswad or feltwad in 12g? obviously there is labour involved but I just would like to know the total component cost per cartridge.
My 28g fibre wad cartridges cost 23p per shell if I had to buy shot. I make my own and get lead for virtually nothing from several contacts.Components for my loads without shot cost 13p

Just one small error in the advert. It says that in Britain it is illegal to use lead over open stretches of water, I don't believe that to be true. I believe the lead ban is specific to quarry species not geographical location.
Britain would encompass Scotland and also it is illegal to use lead over water in England if it is a designated SSSI

totally agree...Canadas should not be classed as vermin...even the woodpigeon is a beautiful bird but certain parties appear to have lack of respect for them...some folk would shoot the last of a species and be proud of it...each to their own I suppose...atb...misser
Canada's are not reclassified as vermin. They may be shot under the terms of the GL but they still remain as wildfowl. You still have to abide by all the other laws like Non toxic shot and only 3 cartridges in the gun etc.
It is a shame that there are people who have to kill everything and hide behind the 'Vermin Control' flag

I bet we won't see any alternatives by next season.
Always the optimist, aren't we? A proper little ray of sunshine. There is already 3 on the market. A shift in sales is all it will take for manufacturers to follow suit
-
can you not move the trigger assembly? On my Anschutz I had the same issue and I moved the trigger back a couple of mm. It cured the problem and now gives very hard strikes and every shot goes off
-
You cannot go wrong with Gamebore Mammoth, apart from they are plastic wad. But times are changing and hopefully by next season there will be lots of alternatives

that's a dangerous way of load testing. I have used CSB5 for years and have found 22.5 grains to give optimum performance balancing speed/recoil and good patterns. I have loaded up to 25 grains which pack a punch so unless you have good dental insurance don't go that high.

There is no getting away from the fact the TSS18 is impressive stuff, however how necessary is it? I have some 7's and 9's and to be honest I never shoot at high birds, and if we see geese around here they are never more than 30 yards up and steel is more than adequate. I had some 28 gram loads made and used them on a flight pond to try and the results were unedible birds. Now Eley and Gamebore are upping their eco and fibre wads in steel I see no real need for anything else.
How many of us mere mortals can consistently kill at 75-90 yards anyway?
