  1. I use 30 gram 6, s mate, used to use 34 gram but they are a fair bit dearer now
  2. Thanks very much for putting me at ease, while I'm on here how many retreives is the norm per session for this age?
  3. Hi dan how you getting on? When I had a hmr I got it spot on at 50 yards first like the above post says and then alter it slightly at 100, not sure if poi would change I think it may do on cheap scopes, I didn't think you were bothering with the hmr anyhow?
  4. Have I left it to late? Since I've had her from 2 months old I have been concentrating on recall sit stay and retreive, which she is ok at she struggles with the retreive when I take her outside but retreives ok indoors, she also walks to heel ok so my main concern is polishing up her retrieving and getting her to stop. I was told to forget the stop command untill I have mastered the retreiving is this true? She is very bright and from good working parents so I'm hoping it will turn out ok in the end I'm in no rush but worried is there an age where if I haven't trained her by it will be to lat
  5. Hi folks looking for some tips and advice on teaching a 6 month old springer to obey the stop whistle thank you
  6. For me like geoff said if I was going down the fac air route it would be a regged rapid and they can be a fair bit cheaper as it's a limited market but I would imagine its hard to sell if you ever needed to
  7. Yeah it was great just shot at the lower birds that were hanging in the wind best evening's shooting I've had since last summer on the stubble
  8. Went roost shooting this evening the good bit is I ended up with 25 the bad bit is I shot 75 cartridges! Really need to pick my shots lol
  9. Should be ok if you wasn't convicted, if you know your fao have a word as he will know all about it anyhoo best of luck
  10. Thanks its ok its just I saw some advertised as 22 magnums and some as Winchester magnums thought they might be different
  11. Whats the difference? All it is I've been window shopping on guntrader and didn't realise that there was two whats the difference between the two and whats the difference between a 22 magnum and 22 lr
  12. No thats fine fair comment and I agree
  13. Is it because the first shot is from a stone cold barrel and the second is from a slightly warmer barrel? I don't know whats causing it I'm just curious and eager to learn atb
  14. Thats right I bought mine with the red led and in only works in single mode but I bought the green turbo led which is the best imo and that has three power setting by just pressing the tail switch.
  15. So the bits of copper and powder residues won't bugger up my rifling?
  16. Thanks for that mate thats all I needed to know cheers
  17. After cleaning my 223 shoots 1 inch high at 100 yards and then the second shot its back in bull, why does it do this? Tempted not to clean it as I like it cock on from first shot any ideas
  18. I use a lead and copper disolver on a nylon brush push up and down untill it foams then leave for ten minutes and then push patches through untill clean then a oiled patch and then a dry patch works for me the disolver is called g96 copper solvent but it removes all metal and powder fouling
  19. I know but unfortunately you get idiots like that I'm afraid
  20. No god honest dont know how it happened it was a long shot over 300, maybe your right but I have never known him to lie. Also for the record I shot a rabbit in the summer with a 40 vmax from my 223, was still alive when I picked it up? All it had was the skin missing from between its ears, the skull had hardly been touched
  21. I know of a keeper that did that, took a long shot at a fox with his 222, turned out to be a moggy from one of the farms on the estate and it made it home with its eyeball following behind on a piece of thread, luckily he new the farmers pretty well and just had to pay the vets bill
  22. Wasnt having a dig mate, just seemed as though we were going round in circles lol, but whatever is the safest way in the circumstances but would, nt use a shotty just incase you peppered its backside and then it went through someones catflap and died on the doormat lol
