Proper cartridge that.

 

 

Stav. The petrol issue! Someone is probably amazed how far the quad goes on petrol because it never runs out! Maybe it's time it did run out

It’s been raining hard here for a while , the ground has got really wet . Thankfully I’ve just got my brand new Kawasaki mule on a 20 plate . The shoot can’t be doing too bad , despite the gaffer pleading poverty all the time and then going and getting a brand new Mercedes sports car .

      Anyway just like you Si I have been doing a bit of loading . I’ve settled on 42grains of N140 with my 70grain Sierra Blitzkings . They are shooting unbelievably good groups at 200 meters . I haven’t tried them at 300 yet , but I’m happy so far . And to be honest I’m way over the recommended at 42gr . The 223 load I’ve settled on for my NV is 25.7 gr of N135 with 50gr Vmax , you couldn’t get another granule in the case , so it’s I would say near enough a compressed load . I’ve taken a fox at 251 meters at night with this load shooting straight at it , and it was a cub . So no complaints about this load either .

     Still waiting on the lower fields to be harvested. I haven’t seen anything around the pens , but the other morning I smelled a fox . The first time for a while. It’s day of reckoning isn’t far away now . They have had to spray the wheat and barley off to get it to ripen . As soon as it drys off they will start . I am chomping at the bit as they say .

Thanks for that Flattop , I’ve got the Darksky app which is similar and the met office one.  But to be honest last year the rain pissed me off so much I didn’t even bother look at the forecast because I’ve got to go out and feed and check the birds no matter what the weather is doing . I just wear a coat and leggings anyway , if it’s raining, oh well , if not great. 
         I’ve given up moaning about the weather ( well almost) . We’re British, it’s what we do , we’re not made of sugar .

That’s right when you have to go out the weather is irrelevant you just dress accordingly but I do like to keep an eye on it especially at the moment it’s so out of character to have the rain we are having in August.

I constantly moan about the weather, it’s to hot, it’s to cold, it’s to windy, it’s raining, mad really because I don’t like being in the house
