I’m using a 129gr home load that a pal of mine loads for me ..it costs me about a pound a round ..it’s accuracy is spot and stopping power is perfect for the fallow , and with minimal carcass damage .Having shot hundreds of fallow with both the .308& .243 the 6.5 x55 swede is my absolute perfect round ..Truth is it’s been around for a long long time for a reason , it does the job ..

As kids we used to go down to goudhurst in Kent , to us as kids it was one big adventure ...Sadly by the time we were ten it was all but finished , although as you drive into Goudhurst there are still a few of the old huts to be seen .Strange that fifty years later I ended up helping out on a big shoot that took in most of the land that was once hop gardens , you could still see where the little Hawkhurst branch line train ran through to the villages ..reckoned to be the prettiest line in the country .. Always bought a couple of hop bines of a little farm in Goudhurst to hang in the barn ..D

Still out in Spain mate , won’t be back for a month or so depending on what’s happening with the virus ..my pal is looking after my places and he’s just ticking over at the moment , he sent me some pics from the other morning and there was doe’s everywhere , he see a couple of bucks but left them , nothing great but nice symmetrical heads with a bit of promise..there will be so much poor headed stuff about it wasn’t worth knocking them over .. Update on one of my places where the deer use a 100 acres off our boundary as a sanctuary is the place changed hands earlier in the year and the new

Tell me about it mate ! ...once in a lifetime dogs ...the strange thing is they seem to fall into your hands ..my last dog ( Elsa ) was a joy to have out , nothing fazed her , she picked up on what was required in no time ,she learnt the job required of her as if she had read the book .Lived for going out , loved every second of every day she was out ..and that dog came as gift , she was bored stiff living in an apartment and subsequently eat the furniture ? ..the people who owned her were puppy people , once they were past puppy they were bored of them ..I got her at 18 months as a complete w

Burglary out there is a dangerous job , you really need to be some sort of Adrenalin junkie to do it for a living ! , the prospects of living to a ripe old age and enjoying retirement are fairly slim to say the least !

A week ! ...stamps not dry yet mate ..anthing posted over here ( Spain ) starts at a month ..over five weeks for the last things I had sent out ..the three parcels before that , two ended up back in the UK four months later and the other one with forty quids worth of fishing hooks never made it anywhere but into some arseholes fishing box ..any thing that gets delivered here in a week has been sent to the wrong address ..?

For fcuks sake don’t go on the air gun section Keith , your end up in the asylum ..any question along the lines of “what’s the best calibre for shooting rats “ will end up a fifty pager and you won’t be a foot forward from where you started ...and by the time they finally arrive at the answer the rats will be four feet deep and carting your fence of to make a fire ...?

The confidence it gave them going through school etc was unbelievable ..hope your lad sticks with it ..

It ain’t shooting your knob that makes you go deaf mate ?, shooting guns did for my hearing , never wore any hearing protection ,either out shooting or using tools at work , and like you at 68 I’ve lost 60% in one ear and 40%in the other .Thousands upon thousands of shotgun cartridges , thousands of full bore rounds through riffles with no mods , You don’t realise what you are loosing till it’s to late and the damage is done .Even with the latest digital aids they are a poor second to the free ones nature supplies .. Look after your hearing and wear protection , it’s bad enough to loose

I’ve been shooting deer for the best part of forty years mate and getting a license to shoot them legally at night in England is very very difficult , I don’t know one person who has successfully applied to natural England and got one ..I’ve met several who claim to have them but never seen the paperwork proof ... The requirements to shoot at night are the last resort after every other avenue has been covered , including fencing , even then it won’t include shooting out of season .. I believe Richmond park gets one but can’t trace any other one issued regularly ..

I shot 243 , 100 grain for over twenty years and only had one deflection , shot a fallow prickets through the shoulder and it came out the front of the chest , it turned almost right angles ..it did drop to shot though ..

Good to see your out and about FD ...strange how bullets react , what are the chances of that deflecting up . ..What calibre ?
