  1. Tried The H&N Baracuda Greens in a 12ft ibs Air arms seemed accurate enough, could be .177s do ok on the light pellets i guess lighter will just make velocitys higher if they group ok and the ft lbs should be roughly the same just faster. might be ok for .177s then. re the H&N FTT powers just copper platted lead or are they indeed pure copper?
  2. Think the .177s will be having a tough time hunting anymore in sub 12, and can see the .22 and especially the .25 being the choice for hunting/ pest control. The .25 has 19 grain from H&N , its the way i imagine it will go.
  3. Looking at the Pink situation as a whole both in England and Scotland where i tend to frequent, its pretty much as it ever was with a few more in some areas and again its variable year on year. I feel the Northern england areas and even parts of N lincolnshire and nottinghamshire are seeing a fair few more in some parts, and its building up every year in some parts. They dont like the pressure from heavy inland shooting and any that look to be settling in wetlands soon get attention they clearly dont appreciate and they simply move on. Shame i Had a nice lot of about 1500 Pinks Very locally quite settled in an area from the back third of September and naturally i was gentle with them. Just Flighting them as close to as you would do proper forshore flighting. Take a couple try not to take birds from front of skeins and merely try not to pressure them. All was working out fine for a month or so, then bonfire night early morning i noticed a lot of all i can describe as volley shooting about a mile away from where i was. They came past me clearly a little upset with themselves and in little groups rather than the typical skeins of most mornings. Plain fact is they moved on right here and then that day. A similar thing happened last year , only closer to my ground and this was just two or three people on one field, it happens the world over just the way it is.
  4. In My Brno/ cz452 Used eley subsonic extra plus for years, Now Availability reasons mostly i am all Winchester subs.
  5. I am of the same opinion, 20 years on m yPermatex nomad roe smock no complaints. .
  6. 5KGs of CSB0 powder £300 will split. Yorkshire / N lincs border.
  7. mate has 5 kilo of this CSB0 for sale at moment for £60 a kilo PM for details.
  8. It seemed even when i got the homework done, got where the geese were . I just never was quite right somehow, Just 50 yards out of range just a little too high . And this was not like now and again, which is kind of usual this was constant like all the time. I made a few trips to the northern firths and geese were about no question about that, but could i get under them? Not a chance, i was by about December starting to take it personal😀. I got a Nice right and left on pinks mid January , which filed my spirits a little. but Next time i went out i was back in the doldrums. No despite more than my average efforts, it just never fell into palace this year. And my premature seasons Halt simply put a tin hat on it for me.
  9. My season is Done early 😔 Normally i get out until the last day on the foreshores, But Work has dictated i have go to the states so i am finished . Its been a strange season for me, after the none events over covid 19 this season promised a little respite if we could avoid any lock downs which thankfully we did. And the recent variants the vaccination roll out and uptake look positive for the future. However Despite the Free run on, the season never really took off for me, it ws looking promising at first with a few early season pinks off the shores, but the migrators did not hang around my areas much, and local greys and ducking was the main part of a largely unfulfilling season for me. In fact i will go so far as to say i have never had a worse season in over 40 years. I am not loosing the enthusiasm any, but its been a bitter disappointment to me overall and i am not ashamed to admit i am glad its over. Looking farward to 2022/2023 season .
  10. Not had Holy island permit for about 6 seasons, But IIRC if you wanted one you just paid your money and got one. Dont remember ever having any problems with availability.
  11. not sure how you would guarantee a uniform quantity of toungsten per pellet. my thoughts are if you mix it it will just stay low down in the melt and probably all be gone in the first pellets dropped. And i dont know how you could clad bismuth with toungsten powder. Just my thoughts on the matter, i have never mixed any toungsten powder with anything or even seen any for that matter.
  12. God report enjoyed reading it 6.5 , and well done to the young chap and his pup. 😁
  13. And absolutely nothing wrong with discussing such matter if you so wish. Develop your loads ask away questions and enjoy your sport, this is just another aspect of the sport you clearly enjoy , if other see any relevance to their requirements of the sport for such debate is neither here nor there certainly no one else s bushiness but your own and those who chose to reply to you.
