Hi all, looking to buy a good pigeon magnet / flapper as well.as.some netting and a decent stool. Kindly PM if you have some items you would like to move along to a good home 🙏 Much appreciated James

@Dr. Strangelove were you looking for some mate?

I think that it's a grey area and whilst brass is not strictly regulated by customs, (I believe)I suspect you would struggle to find someone willing to bother shipping to you. On top of which there is VAT and customs etc. I suspect that you would struggle to find 257bob brass in Europe

Having done a little research, I thought the best way is to buy some 30.06 Lapua brass and work from there? Its a longer process than using 7x57 but.... 1) Lapua don't make 7x57 I believe (or at least I can't find any in UK) 2) I also own a 7x57 rifle and don't want to get my ammunition mixed up...

What's wrong with nosler e tips in 100gr? I thought they were a sound choice for 257bob?

Ill probably make some from either 7x57 or 30.06 when the times comes

Rare as hens teeth mate

I shoot a 257 Roberts and love it. Very underrated calibre Imho. Not many of us in the UK for sure!

Looks like a folding barrow and a ramp is the answer! Many thanks all

Hi all, I am in the process of converting a VW transporter 4motion into an adventure van so my boy and I can spend more time in the woods. Has anyone fitted a 12v winch onto the inside roof bars? (Attached photo) Would it hold? It would help to get large fallow into the back, otherwise it's a...

Hey! that's what I have (I think), although unsure about the Argentine bottom metal. I'd add a butter knife bolt handle for added elegance 😍

Perfect, much appreciated 👍 👍

Many thanks ES. Woudl you recommend number 7 or number 9 shot to get him started on clays? And no 5 or 6 for Squirrels/Pigeons?

I have this on my cz452 with rings thanks to @HonestJohn. It's an absolute cracker of a scope. Perfect for a traditional rifle 👌

I was lucky enough to be gifted a Webley Scott bolt action single shot, which would be just the thing to get him started on clays and squirrels. The offer was very kindly sent by a fellow SD member after seeing my post. 👍 I will certainly be taking your advice on the cartridges. Thanks ES👍
