  1. Google is your friend! 12.7x99mm .50BMG Headstamp: K S 43 Projectile: Copper with Steel Core Manufacturer: Allegany Ordnance Plant, USA Date: 1943 Note: M2 Ball
  2. It should say on the base of the case what calibre it is.
  3. I try to ensure my Cocker doesnt jump fences, she tends to "bank" which is a problem with barbed wire. Being small, its scruff of the neck and drop on the other side, or she finds somewhere to squeeze under.
  4. £92.5k mortgage, thats it, wasnt that much before but thats the joy of a divorce:001_rolleyes: My Fiancee owns her own place, worked her butt off in her 20's to get the cash to build it, but had no social life, I was the other way round which is why Ive got a mortgage!!!!! Interesting thread, if for no other reason it shows the north south divide as far as mortgages go.
  5. Cracking looking pup Not a springer fan myself (the missus is though ) Im a Cocker man. As for names, Ive got a Bracken (working red Patterdale, Nuttal lines) Swift (working Cocker, Tawnyhill) and a Turtle (Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, working) My dogs cant be mistaken on the Shoot, which is a pity sometimes, I knew I shouldve got a black Lab!!!!!
  6. The easiest way to breast a pigeon is to "rip and flip" Twist off both wings where they join the main body. Pluck the feathers from the neck area, then rip open the neck skin. Hold the pigeon in one hand, head pointing up your arm, and push both thumbs into the chest cavity. With the back part of the body in your right hand and the breast against your left, pull with you left thumb whilst pushing with you left fingers in an upward motion (like pairing up socks) You will be left with a clean, skinless breast on the bone, making it much easier to either freeze or to cut the breasts of the breast bone.
  7. How did you do it Danny? I tried ringing 150, but couldnt speak to anyone
  8. Nothing to do with his love of Macdonalds then?! Bear's shows are for the camera and the viewer, neither him nor Ray are whiter than white on the hotel front. Bear was 21reg, Lofty was 22reg and the Godfather of survival books in the UK. Ray is awesome at teaching lost methods of survival. Horses for courses really.
  9. Very interesting thread, thanks for posting it
  10. Thanks guys. I wouldnt but a Landie as the doublecab is too agricultural, noisey, slow and expensive. Ive got a Discovery and s2, Ive owned 5 or 6 before these, so I know all about Land Rovers!!
  11. Weve thought about an estate, but in our minds they have a few teething problems. 1) either the rear seat is shared between 10 year old who gets travel sick and luggage, or the boot is split between luggage and dogs. 2) estates get stuck on the Shoot (I should've said I also need it to get about on Shoot ) The doublecabs that the guys on the Shoot have enough room in the back to allow them to be split between dogs, in large dog crate) and luggage.
  12. Im after a doublecab, which will be for me to run around in, carry the dogs, carry the dogs and luggage, etc. Estates arent big enough once youve got 3 dogs in the boot, my ten year old in the back, plus the missus and associated luggage, etc!!! It wont be used for towing, so no worries on the tow capacity, its space we are after. We are looking at either a L200 or Ford Ranger (unless there's another thats better), it will be no more than 4 years old. Are there any problems with these vehicles? Whats the ride like? Whats the fuel consumption? Servicing costs? Insurance? Any other tips would be great. Thanks
  13. Good advice, also goes for neighbours who are ranting about a beloved tree being "killed"
  14. Wow, Ripley's a big boy! Cracking looking hound
  15. Thats an awesome retrieve mate. My Toller cant be bothered (he's nearly 11), my Patty isnt interested in dead things and the Cocker still struggles with and trips over big cocks wings!!!!! All of them love to flush though, but we only work 11 days in the season plus dogging-in all year round. Using a Patterdale for blanking-in on Shoot days makes for interesting conversations on with Guns, the Duke of Northumberland couldnt believe his eyes!!! Made his afternoon though
  16. Nice looking Springers Matt, and good to see they are worked
  17. All back to normal now, top job Steve
  18. No "unread posts" showing in top right under user name, forum titles missing, and it takes me through to a weird old style forum Maybe its just a subtle way of saying "get out and do some work"!!!!!
  19. Cool, we dont mind a bit of Miss Bradbury on countryfile, should be a good watch.
  20. Link's broken!!! Lets hope its not John Craven doing the piece, he always takes a hollier than though view of things
  21. Commercial usually means no rear side windows and only a single jump seat in the rear (max seating is 3) Well thats what my Discovery is, so Im following that was a guidline.
