Snotty Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 hopefully there will be another annoying weed mocking you on the sand bank again. A buck and ball load perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 A buck and ball load perhaps Is that what they used to use out of cannon to cut down ship masts / rigging? I think this years Bisley might be very interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Please just remeber the muzzle energy allowed has been reduced to 4500 joules. I am sure half of Snotty's collection exceeds that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure half of Snotty's collection exceeds that :wacko: so do we or i, have to check the velocity and load accordingly before taking part that weekend :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 As far as I believe unless you are firing some seriously hot loads or something more than a 7.62/.308 then no you don't. I will dig out the range regulations and post them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 is it possible to tune my SMK B2 to that power, want to go hunting deer with it. and what calibre would be best for wild boar :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snotty Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Symptoms of too big a load... 1: Your teeth feel a bit loose. 2: The knuckle on your middle finger feels like it's been dislocated at some point but you can't remember doing it. 3: You have to move your shoulder forwards because your coat and shirt have gone unusually tight across your back. 4: Your ram rod may have mysteriously disappeared. 5: Everyone is looking at you.

flash Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 its an obselete calibre, so doesnt require it to be on a certificate, and the ammo he is talking about is homeloaded as the only ones u can find that arent homeloaded nowadays are antique.

pin Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 How do we go about booking tent pitches? Assuming the deal is the same as last year you don't need to, we get "allocated" a large green area near the air rifle and running boar ranges which is out of the way. IIRC there is a charge for camping but they never collect it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I feel a bigger circle may be required this year - with gaps for Saturday's arrivals please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Similar to "fire breaks" in forestry I think we should have "chunder breaks" around the Midlands contingent to avoid any possible splashback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPARKIE Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 HA HA HA PIN I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE WIND BREAKS TO STOP THE GREEN SMOG FROM WICKEDANDLAZYS FEET ANDE PADLOCKS ON THE TENT ZIPS IF ESSEX MAFIA ARE THERE LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
