Interesting...would you have a link for that, I can't seem to find it on the internet?

"In cotton"...forgot that bit...!

A good quality long-sleeve t-shirt that does not become a billowing tent the first time it gets washed due to the waist edge losing shape...!

Oh I already bought another one in the meantime also..........

Just an update that this shotgun was marvellously repaired by the good folk at MacLeod's in Tain. Back in action and actually a much nicer gun than I even remembered! Thanks to all.

Try balancing it at a 45* angle and then pulling it. Mine starts like that, leaning to the left (right wheels in the air) at around 45*. No idea why...

...looking forward to picking up a used-but-brilliant-and-cheap .243 when people start dumping them for no good reason at all :lol:

I was talking rubbish, they actually are the Peregrines, I just checked! From Edinburgh Rifles. They look awesomely blunt (they are VRG3 apparently, not sure if they are the same as the Bushmaster) and I look forward to seeing how they do; it's a Tikka M595 1 in 10 (I think & assume) so ho-hum...

Quote: “calibre” means the measurement of the interior (also known as “the bore”) of a firearm’s barrel and the diameter of projectile used". So that also puts that line of reasoning to bed. Now if someone really wanted to use lead, perhaps they could start a private maritime security company...

I just bought some Fox 100g copper for my .243. Intrigued to find out how they shoot. The 80g copper has worked fine on reds & foxes in .243.

That is a very good price.

I bought 40 rounds for DSC1 practice last week, £40. Same 40 in the copper that I use would be £130.

Same for me, when I had a syndicate place in deep forestry. Bloody nightmare; mind you I couldn't actually go that often. Saw deer though...which was nice...

This ^ My last two deer (red stags) hit with a .270 ran...not much, but around 3-4 seconds. Both were shot "well". Last deer hit with .243 ran no more than the .270 ones.

Have had them & they were delicious!
