Hej, CWMMAN3738, I put in a 18 kg bag about every 2 weeks. The spreader cost about £95 they can be had for about £50 without the solar panel.They are 12 volt and will last about 2 months between charges. The blue pastic barrels i can get for nothing, local. I'll take some pics next weekend and post them up
Hi CWMMAN3738, try Bushwear for auto feeder. I have built myself a similar unit to Jagare using one and they are a great help.

Now then Mike, gonna call foul on that one mate. Well below the belt!! Need all the help I can get and they are far from tame I assure you!!I knew there was a reason why you shot so many boar, they are not wild at all, you are are hand rearing them.
Give it time Mike, they will turn up on your ground soon, I'm sure. Explained properly as diversionary feeding and stacking odds in your favour (both true) then feeding is effective and accepted by my farmers.There are boar only a few miles away from my little wood at the moment, it's only a matter of time. They won't be welcomed by the landowners I can tell you, and I don't think they would take too kindly to me feeding them in order to get them in a position where they can be safely shot. They would probably see it as encouraging them.
I've never come across a .338 Federal but on paper the ballistics look good, I look forward to seeing how it shoots. The usual riflesmith I suppose, I would have thought you would have learned your lesson by now. He's a bad man he only makes you want to go and have another one built.
I presume the auto feeders from Bushwear are similar or the same as in the Kettner and Frankonia catalogues.

.338 federal is being built by the usual rifle smith who will see me in the poor house at this rate! Sako 75 .308 being re-barrelled and modest tart up for this project. You will see it at the range once built!
feeder is a USA import and is the only one on the Bushwear website. Really good kit. If you fancy a look at mine one evening, you'd be most welcome.
I belive my premiums could soon be taking a hike with all this talk of fancy rifles and new fangled feeders
Fear not Thomas, the rifle builder in question does a first class job but takes his time allowing plenty of time to save up. The feeder was, however, an extravagance given that I got a certain agricultural engineer in Ross who is renowned for the quality of his work and size of his bills to make it. The automated spinner bit was cheap, the steel box section tripod was rather pricey!I belive my premiums could soon be taking a hike with all this talk of fancy rifles and new fangled feeders
