Lucky they couldn’t take my 2  tonne tipping trailer out  , had two of them nicked in the past

At least the cash was safe. Just hoping the insurance will pay up on my bike that is about £3500 to replace with all the bits on it. Insurance company have said they will try and help me out on the work tools 

just can’t believe my van has gone tits up as well , only done 120k , so another £18 k to spend now on another one 

Jeez that's bad, I was talking to someone other day about vans and what do you buy, the vw transporters are overpriced an not without their faults, the renaults /vauxhall and Nissan are money pits and probably class the mercs like that now the ones that don't rust that is and the transits are easily nicked.

If I shoot the 18 grain jsb at 32ftlb I'm getting 100 shots out crown if I tune it to 21grn slugs doing 42ftlb it only gets 3 mags about 54 shots

Thanks for that pav, I’d probably stick at 32ft lb with pellets then, and use a .22 rimfire if I needed more

Nothing wrong with keeping to 18 gr pellets . I found  AA 18 gr to be better than JSB 18 gr

Thanks for the information, I’m thinking I might find .22 more useful overall for my needs. What ft lbs do they run on low power if you don’t mind me asking? 
 

sorry to see you’ve had your stuff stolen. Thieving barstewards should have their hands removed. Total scum.

Afraid to say I would go .25 and forget shot count.

ive used both, .25 wins hands down all day long for me, the stopping power is incredible,

the cricket used to get 4 mags very comfortable at 52lb, that’s 48 shots, would have done more I presume but we just made a habit of filling after 4 mags

 

sorry to hear about the s rotes nicking your stuff fella, I’ve had it and it’s a kick in the teeth, usually compounded by lack of police interest followed b insurance company screwing over.

 

hope it gets sorted to a reasonable outcome for you

[Dervburner 2,549]

Ahh, just when I thought I’d decided . I used to favour .25 at 12ft lbs for clearing ferals, and it was very effective. In fact, I still have a 12ft lb .25

Just posted the paperwork, decided to go for .22. I was tempted by .25, but after much consideration I think .22 will fill the gap better for me. Thanks for the information everyone
