  1. TVP ask to renew 2 years early

    Thames Valley Police are now asking home loaders to keep all receipts for powder, primer & bullets to prove use at renewals...
  2. Basc voluntary lead ban

    The fact that none of the organisations had thought to consult with their memberships is insulting & arrogant. This has been handled in the most crass manner. Pity they couldn’t get all the organisations around a table to then take a collaborative approach to tackling the issues regarding...
  3. powder storage

    I think this thread from last year had some good ideas which should meet requirements, especially Laurie's post #9: Anyone keep their powder in the fridge?
  4. Potential hammergun restoration project: need informed views

    I used Ladbrook & Langton for servicing my grandfather’s old Armstrong boxlock 12 bore with damascus barrels that I inherited. They did a great job & I highly recommend using them. Had it nitro reproved & they built a new pair of ejectors. Grandfather had to hand it in for use with the Home...
  5. Mincing and Vacuum Packing

    Just to make you all aware that Andrew James UK Ltd went into administration in October 2019: Gazette entry
  6. Chronograph

    You could always hire both the Lab Radar and the Magnetospeed from Edinburgh Rifles on this forum, to see which might suit you best: For Sale: - Labradar Rental Service
  7. Does wearing a face mask actually help when stalking up to deer..?

    I was taught ‘Shape, Shine, Shadow, Silhouette, Surface, Spacing & Movement’. Add to that Sound & Scent and you have probably got most things covered. Personally I prefer to cover up in drab clothing so as to avoid being noticed by the general public who have wandered off the beaten path and...
  8. U.K. Made

    Take a look at the Cyclone jacket from Wearite: The Cyclone Jacket Absolutely delighted with mine. Quiet, waterproof, wind proof & lightweight.
  9. Building a shoot truck from a Jimny

    Hi Kimh, Is ‘Able’ finished now? I would like to see some photos and hear how it is performing.
  10. Making a mobile shooting box

    That looks awesome and must have given you a good sense of satisfaction. Remember to take your boots off before entering as you won’t want muddy footprints on that nice cream carpet!
  11. The importance of using hearing protection.

    I think my avatar explains why I have two NHS hearing aids & constant tinnitus! Trying to monitor 3 radio nets whilst wearing the good old yellow foam ear plugs wasn’t very practical back in the day...
  12. Vegans beat us again.

    We are definitely on the same wavelength regarding such matters! Sadly our politicians seem to think it’s all wonderful democracy in action. It pains me to see them sat in the House of Commons debating chamber tapping into their phones the latest tweets instead of listening fully to the speaker...
  13. what rifle smith do you recommend??

    Neil McKillop as his work is quality & normally done to a good timescale.
  14. Bullet heads

    Perhaps it could be put in the agreement when signing up as a forum member that the correct terminology is bullet and is to be used. Then anyone subsequently using the offensive & incorrect terminology could be flagged up & asked to make a £10 donation to H4H. Should raise some funds for a good...
  15. An extremely long new rifle story

    Hi Dodgyknees, Thanks for an entertaining read & an insight into a very different style of deer / goat management to what we are used to here in the UK. I’m a beekeeper in the UK so it’s interesting to hear how the manuka honey is changing agricultural practices. Great bit of marketing spin...
