hedd-wyn Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 After a pretty **** day/week at work I had my mind set on getting out with the gun as soon as I'd clocked off at 5. Once again the gun of choice was my trusty Webley Scott Bolt action 410 or 'the the ladies gun' as Mrs Wyn likes to call it For some reason she collapses in a fit of giggles when I take out of the cabinet or give it a clean in the living room, she reckons as far as guns go it's pretty 'camp' Never mind, combined with the Eley Fourlong 12.5g noumber 6 and a decent wind it did a decent job on these rabbits. I really need to start taking my 12g out more often but I feel our relationship is slowly fading away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Crikey , how far away was the one on the left when you shot it ? Handy little gun the 410 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedd-wyn Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Crikey , how far away was the one on the left when you shot it ? Handy little gun the 410 That one was shot with the 308. Seriously though, the closest one was a bolter about 15yards I'm guessing it's that one on the left cant really tell which is which. These guns are very tightly chocked. I've totally ruined the meat on some rabbits before now with this gun, same cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really need to try a box of these. Although I'm very happy with the 12.5's and they do a great job you have to be VERY picky with shots. But to be honest there is very little choice for us 2 1/2 inchers out there Noticed that justcartridges stock the Lyavale 14grams, I might try them out. I'm usually lucky to get hold of the Eleys at mu local shop to be honest so when they have them in stock I usually buy the lot. Down to my last box now.

camokid Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 i keep looking a cheap 410s i may have just been swayed that bit more lol well shot lovely bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Beautiful, as always ! The most under-rated shotgun calibre. Wynnstay farmers were stocking the Lyalvale 410 cartridges, so might be worth a call to your local branch. Failing which, and if your local shop hasn't got any Eleys in, I've always got a few boxes of Eley sitting around that I can sell you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I think the one on the left got hit by a full plastic shot cup as I can kill bunnies at less than that with fibre wad and a full choke .410 without ever seeing such damage indeed 15-20 yards and the .410 is really in its grove. Hey I don't think its camp one bit I was expecting to see it had been painted pink or something. I love the little gun now and have a lightweight s/s and some 24 grm fibre loads for this sort of thing but its always the .410 that gets to go out instead (note to self: Sell the darn 12!)
