enfieldspares Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 I have used the comment section in the survey to write this all are welcome to cut, paste, adapt, modify and use: All my guns I regularly use were made before 1925 and have 65mm chambers. And what of .410" and 28 bore guns? This has all come about by BASC seeking to protect its investment in the British Game Alliance which appears simply to be a vehicle to justify excessive big bags on the grounds that what is shot enters the food chain. No one but a fool would think that the consumer that has never bought game before will now do so because it has been shot not with lead but with steel. Where is the benefit to the shoot where the game is shared between beaters, pickers up and guns and NONE of what is shot is sold? There is no benefit only disbenefit.

If none of the game shot is bound for sale via a dealer, then just use lead. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamch Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 The BGA or what ever it is called nowadays is just a front to protect commercial pheasant shooting and really cannot be justified. Most of the public wont eat game and i personally wont take pheasants from a shooting day would rather have something tasty like pigeon or duck.

Continental Shooter Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 wait till China decides to decrease production of Tungsten and Bismuth (as it account for 80% & 90% of the world production respectively)or take advantage of the increased demand .... then the so called viable alternatives will not be so viable anymore ... Not to mention Steel .... which is, at present, the only viable alternative for pest control.... can see the farmers getting hit harder in their pockets if people start to give up due to costs thus passing on the loss to the consumers Also, where who will absorb the cost of refurbishing all factories with new machinery and the R&D required to provide a decent stock for all types of guns? interesting times ahead ...
