  1. Definitely check as my licensing said i must not shoot this new land until its checked AND i have it in writing from the firearm licensing !! That was over a decade ago and soon got open license . atb
  2. I wouldn't charge anything even if i did take pictures for them as im doing my real job there that pays good anyway . So it wouldn't even be classed as commercial work . Now knowing there's all these 'rules' etc it could only be for 2 or 3 people a year anyway without charge - id be doing them a little favor , for nothing in return but a flight round there land / dwelling simply for photographs to then email them to the customer . I enjoy flying this thing its challenging and fun . But god forbid they give me 10 or 20 quid so it covered my fuel there and back lol .
  3. Many thanks A ... The last thing i want to do is shoot a magpie and not have a license in place . Will apply now.. atb well iv been trying to apply but my luck with tecknology is rubbish . iv downloaded adobe reader so the forms will show but no joy . I will go direct to NE's website and try again . that's an hour gone , very frustrating lol - still no joy - im effin useless on computer , even printing now is a task . New laptop but ffs you have to jump thru hoops for anything to work . I haven't got time for this bs ..
  4. Thanks matey , so theres not one for magpie ??? As these are the 2 main culprets carrion crows and magpies - altho id normally shoot all crows as they all predate in some way shape or form . In all fairness jays don't seem to affect the livestock on the shoots , but they would predate ground nesting birds and songbird nests / chicks - they had ann’s wren nest last year ( neighbor ) now that really pizzed me off as the wrens here are pretty scarce now .
  5. Has anyone actually applied for the gl26 and received it? Iv had 1 of my farmers contact me . I was waiting patiently to see what happens . This is the license to control corvids to protect livestock so its pretty effing important and im getting a little impatient . And damage has no doubt been done . I think ill apply for an individual license - haven't a clue how long this would take . Anyone have one or attempted to get one ? ATB in these frustrating times...
  6. Nice action and stock , but whats the benefit of carbon barrel ? Weight saving ?
  7. +1 hezds up , this should also fit the 590 ? Any idea on price ?
  8. And the planet doesn't need any more plastic rubbish right ? I may actually never buy a plastic ammo box again . Not sure even if there's a metal alternative ??
  9. That is a quality looking pouch think im going to have to get one lol . 20 quid for 20x 6.5 cm ??? Jesus iv paid nearly double that for 20x 223 . Atb.
  10. X i get the impression your fighting a loosing battle with tac and that bullet weight , ok , try different seating depth etc . But dont hold your breath . I honestly think this powder is suited to lighter bullets . I spent a bit getting 3 tubs of the stuff from kranks delivered , but in my 223 ackley 8 twist . No matter what i tried it just wasn't acceptable accuracy wise and the pressure signs i was getting in the stiffer loads was unpredictable and dangerous so dropped it and went back to h4895 which was worked up to load and consistent in comparison . Its very frustrating trying these things and not getting desired results . I would agree on the n140 or a similar rs powder although iv never used rs yet . Once iv ran out of 4895 and varget ill switch . If your getting .4 with 4895 then "just" a case of finding a replacement powder . Do you have access to any other powders ?? Before you go buying like 3 different tubs ?
  11. Good choice sir , hope it fulfils your needs ...
  12. A tip for hmr users , use a fired case and drill a hole in the base end / chamber it - voilla ...
  13. dasherman does build good rifles ps whats round count n barrel twist ?
  14. Hi guys was wondering if anyone has tried these in 6mm yet compared to a similar load (105 Amax etc) and how was it accuracy wise and was it fussy to tune ? I know everyone will probably have different results but just would like an idea . I still on 105s but will soon try them myself and see . Thanks for any info . atb...
  15. Fantastic - well jealous ..
  16. If the garden is flat a 22LR wouldn't possibly be granted . They may even state that you must shoot only from a high seat to help avoid richohet , how big is garden ? Football field size ? 22LR is quite richohet prone . Hmr abit less so but will still twang off the ground and be dangerous
  17. I remember being asked - perhaps you want to kill somebody ? I answered with , i could kill with a car or knife if i really wanted to . I wouldn't need a gun . And i assured him i don't want or would kill anyone . Asked , whats your intended quarry ? Crows mainly , with which he said thats fine on the ground but in the air ? I assured him i would only shoot quarry safety with a safe bacsktop or if it were unsafe - id leave the shot for another day when it was safe . Going for 22LR is wise / iv heard of people putting in for like 6 plus calibers on first grant / application - bit silly .
  18. Yes noticed it , the tub on the right to me could be H335 ?
  19. Yup same as - imperial , it lasts years and very effective , be careful opening the tub of puff dust ! Hold it flat on a table etc then carefully open lid . Or its akin to talkum powder everywhere ...
  20. Is that silestone worktops its pictured on ? Kitchen fitter geek me
  21. goldie do you know how long your freebore is if any ? Im assuming you have a custom barrel ? My 6br has a 104" fb to suit the Amax 105 , but iv got some eld to try but still have 2-300 Amax left . So would be good info on your distance out the case neck etc ? Cheers
  22. This is why i tell any friends that are thinking of doing it - to do it now/asap as you will be waiting months etc , it doesn't seem to sink in lol - i tried ...
  23. Are you target shooting with them ? Iv just looked in to nosler bullets for " hunting " that is , there's ballistic tip hunting 90 & 95 grain spitzers or the ballistic tip varmint but only go up to 80 grain . The 87 grain V-max could well be the best bet along with the 95 grain nosler bullets for hunting that is ... If its solely target then you have allot of choice sir smk Tmk scenar clinch rivers D-tac and more .
  24. Id go with the gen ll vortex , the mk ls had issues but this new one should be better / more reliable . Im looking to purchase a gen ll vortex because the leupold i want is now NLA damn .
