  1. Ive not really unfortunately its just one of them things you find out and you never remember when or how you learned it. had a look and started to doubt myself thinking i must be wrong as ive heard a few people refer to it as special goose but its far to big for geese. found this on wikipedia. however i will be the first to admit wiki can be a bit of a questionable source. but its clearly floating around somwhere. "The British system for designating buckshot size is based on the amount of shot per ounce. The sizes are LG (large grape – from grapeshot derived from musket shooting), MG (medium grape), and SG (small grape). For smaller game, SSG shot is half the weight of SG, SSSG shot is half the weight of SSG, SSSSG shot is half the weight of SSSG, and so on. The Australian system is similar, except that it has 00-SG, a small-game cartridge filled with 00 buckshot." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shotgun_cartridge down in the buckshot section.
  2. stands for grape shot. legacy from the days of musketry and cannons. LG large grape MG medium grape SG small grape SSG half the weight of SG SSSG half the weight of SSG and so on
  3. that's what im getting at. that's the more extreme end of the iPhone spectrum, most phone contracts will get you a smart phone from last years wave of models for like £30-£40 older or even less, and quite frankly if you can get by in 2024 without a smart phone that's not fairly modern that's impressive. Its not essential but not having one makes life infinity more difficult. most banks, job applications, correspondence, nhs facilities, work based communication and organization pushes you towards self serve via an app. the alternative to this is having a desktop or laptop which is arguably more costly and less convenient than a phone. i use weekly if not daily 7 apps on my phone that id struggle without and i work blue collar graft outside for a living. everything from google maps to find the site im working on to a tailored app to do my risk assessments and equipment checks. its the way the world is now. they are a necessary financial outgoing not a luxury. some employers proved them most dont.
  4. ive no horse in the race regarding the riots as i dont have all the facts, but i did enjoy the parts of this thread where people showed their age bracket and demographic by referring to i Phones as a luxury.... just generic "they all have iphones" and that's used as a measure of how good someone is and managing finances. as a baseline you can get the latest iphone on a 24 month contract for £50-£70 a month or about what you'll average pay for a weeks shopping. the same things that about 4 years ago was £40-£50 and take it back to the house you rent at £1200 a month paying a landlord vastly more than you can get a mortgage approved for,Or instead of shopping get a take away as it is a more convenient food option given that both adults in a household MUST work full time now to float the cost of living without getting swamped in debt. but yeah iphones and takeaways thats whats wrong with this generation and the reason were in the state were in. the fact the council housing all got sold off in the late 80s for buttons and are now being used/sold by private firms and landlords to leather the incomes of the working population has nowt to do with it.
  5. a book i read once said put a crow decoy out to the side of the pattern or maybe on a fence post. the theory of added confidence is valid i guess. im personally not sure pigeons have the brain capacity to do that level of reasoning and it could just be a case of they see what they're used to seeing. But if its happening with the real birds replicate it i guess.
  6. a bit to strong for me that mate can get them brand fire new for 620 at mcavoy guns i was thinking around 350-400.
  7. would you consider selling the rifle alone?
  8. nevermind id of gone as far south as Sheffield and made a day of it in leeds or york on the way home but thats probably still 40 mile for you mate. maybe next time
  9. Aw yeah ofcourse, that’s why I asked how far north. Every mile you do is 1 less for me then I can decide if it’s feasible
  10. proper north Nottingham is 3 hours for me
  11. how far north are you willing to go?
  12. Classic labour, waste money funding a completely ineffective scheme aimed at the wrong people to tackle a serious issue and insinuate blame and bill a party thats nothing to do with the issue. seriously though firearms and guns aside what the hell is a bloke with a lanyard gona do in A&E?. If theyre in A&E theyre either the victim or theyve had a much more persuasive means of thinking about changing their ways inflicted on them shortly before.
  13. Thank you all for your replies, Enfield spares with a name like thst I’m gona take your guidance and opinion mate haha I’ll come back to you in the brass but if that collet and dead length die is just a neck resizer I’ll for sure buy that from you
