London Best

The Americans seem to think so! But .410 actually works out as a 67.49 gauge.

The last goose I shot was with 25 gram tungsten 5’s from a 20 bore.

I certainly ate a few years back, before I knew it was a disease.

At normal ranges you do not need heavy cartridges to kill duck.

You are all missing the point.........it’s not Christmas yet.

Plus one! I wish somebody would pinch all my neighbours decorations that have been up since the middle of November. It’s like living in Santa’s grotto for two months of the year. They’re barmy, and none of them have kids. Why can’t they put them up for Christmas? I believe it starts on 24th. Dec. Bah, Humbug!

The proof marks tell you it was reproofed after boring out from the original size. Providing it is still substantially in the condition as proved it is as safe as any other gun.

I renewed during lockdown. Everything done over the phone.......and then the FEO delivered the certificates personally by hand! Go figure.

No, it’s not illegal, but most will think you an **** hole for doing it.

As an Englishman, obviously I support England, but I do love the sheer passion in Welsh Rugby.

I make sure to close the breech before it contacts the sheepskin.

Technically true I suppose.

I saw it quite regularly on an inland pond about fifteen seasons ago. Does anyone know if it is safe to eat duck infected with it?

Who would use a cartridge they found on the marsh? Most farmers I know.

When I fly over England and look down I am always surprised how much open countryside you can see.

Edge of seat now..........

Pig just flown past here!

I just count kills in my head during a drive. The empties all go over my shoulder and my wife picks them up at the end of the drive. Why else would I take her? Anyway, I did buy her a magnet stick.

You don’t want to shoot all cocks, Lloyd. The hens are far better eating!

Sounds like a simple low battery to me.

Croots is very genuine and good quality. As you said earlier do not be fooled by the Guardian products.

Be aware that the French/continentals refer to a .410 as a 12mm. .410” is obviously 10,4mm. For some reason for this ammunition they use the outside dimension of the cartridge case.

I have exactly that. Mine is by Parsons and is as good as I have seen.

The BBC sees itself as the political opposition, with Laura Kuenssberg as Leader of the Opposition. They are certainly more effective than the Labour Party.

It sounds as if your shooting is just a casual hobby/pastime and not a way of life as it is to me.
