Martin just get a nice wide solid board of timber, the width of your kitchen table plus depth of press, hold press on end of timber,mark the two bolt holes and drill through board to clamp press down with M10 or m12 bolts with wingnuts so the press hangs over table, then just g clamp the other end of boatd and press end to table. You can screw a block of timber on side where you set up scales to mount powder thrower too. Simple and when done, put it all away to get out of the wife's way😀

Two gunsmiths that I've heard of that I believe do what you want for customers, Callum ferguson, and Steve Kershaw. Probably not quite as simple legally getting someone you know to make up loaded rounds for you!!! But no doubt that's a minefield!!

Yep, that's what they did to two of my rifle's in Birmingham proof house recently, and chamber end too.

FC Brass received, thanks James👍. Have a bump for your Winchester brass

Sad news, he said it would get him in the end, didn't expect it that quick😞, RIP mark.

Bob's fox lure worked a treat tonight😀,had a call from a friend, to say his friend with a smallholding had some chickens killed recently, and would I go to see if I could sort out the fox,so went and stood on the back of my truck for a few hours in his little paddock with the 17fireball fitted out with a pard 008, 3 foxes turned up😀. He'll be a happy man when I tell him in the morning. Had the pleasure of watching a pair of hedgehogs at work all night too 😃, don't see them much anymore.

I've got a set of mitutoyo,probably had them 20years too, and I only remember changing the battery once, and i leave the battery in.

Payment made, thanks James👍

Might be best in the for sale section 👍

Result mate, nice one👍. I just got in from another outing, love my drone😀,moon was wicked again tonight but still managed 4 out of 6 seen, another happy keeper😃

Both lots of FC brass (200)£30 Inc postage

Well done montey, sounds like that fox was waiting for its dinner😃, i Just got in from being driven round, saw 5, possibly 6, shot 3 of them, the moon didn't help tonight so pretty pleased with the result. Will be out again tomorrow night on a different farm, oops I mean tonight😀

I know what you mean about seeing all that stubble under the lamp, lovely sight😃, that rifle of yours would look just right with a drone or thermal on top, I wouldn't mind betting the outcome would have been different too,but windy is allways a no no for me unless I really have to go!! Good luck next time👍

How did you get on in the wind Saturday night mate with those 168 grainers?

Hi montey, I just got in too, chilling out before bed with a cup of tea☺, sorted another 2 Tonight with the drone, you like your thermal then😀 Mike hasn't replied except "silly sod" so he probably doesn't need any advice on foxing😀

Good luck mate, I was going tonight but called it off, hate shooting in heavy wind on foxes with my little peashooter 😂, they nearly allways try getting round you on the wind too, just no point stiring them up if the next night wind has settled down, looks like I've got the next 3 nights out now😀😀

Lol, bob the fox😁. Cheers ootot 👍. Only joking mike, are you using n/v then,or lamping?, Foxes are not that difficult to trip up, even the Leary ones fall after awhile, if like ootot says, just be patient, bait a spot and wait, very quiet with minimal movement and a background behind you so you're not skylined, just collect all your kitchen scraps in a bucket(with lid) over the week, especially the Sunday chicken carcass, broken up to stop a grab and run😃,that's all assuming you're waiting with n/v,and if using your vehicle to wait, make sure you cover it in cammo, a motor parked shining in a field that's not normally there will often make a fox wary but not allways!! Don't forget about wind direction too. Don't sqeak anymore, if fox turns up on bait and dosn't stop long enough for the shot just wait it will nearly allways come back, just a waiting game😯,oh yeah and no smoking😀. As for off the back of a truck driving round four different farms, we've seen 21 and shot 19 of them in the last couple of weeks,all with n/v so they're not that difficult to shoot, sounds like your foxes have seen it all before, are they edge of town foxes or are you out in the countryside?? .

You need to be above the cover mike, you'll find they'll be a lot easier to see that way😂😂

Hi Martin, nice one with getting the xm50 Thermion, I'm sure you'll like it from what I've read about it, be good to hear how you get on with it👍. Got the Drone fixed earlier today and just got back in from meeting a fox with it 😀, the blue screen was an easy fix after I had a good man on the nv forum tell me how to sort it😃.

ZX1😀

Hi Martin, my drone has just packed up, got the dreaded blue screen😣, I'm right pished off, foxes will be happy though 😀😀 Which thermal did you buy, and how are you finding using it compared to the drone?

I had a pierced primer problem awhile ago with my .204 and vn530 powder so have recently changed to remington 71/2's , so far no probs,and in the heat, settling on only .1 of a grain of vn530 lower than when blowing fed gold medal primers.

My old Bruno loved CCI subs, would put them in a ragged hole at 55yds

Gamekeeper mate has a Karl kaps and tried trading it in awhile ago, wasn't offered hardly anything for it, so still has it, still at least they didn't tell him to chuck it in the bin😃
