  1. And just to throw something irrelevant on the ranges you are talking .......If you you are firing long , ( Barrett 50 cal stuff ) The rotation of the earth will affect target position . If firing with the direction of rotation the target will drop from the point of aim . If firing against the rotation the target will lift from the point of aim .........
  2. Yea es the one . Its im wot dun it guv .
  3. It gives you a theoretical zero at what ever range you set your scope at . This is based on an endless flat trajectory , no windage or drop . So a good place to start . Of course you will have to work from there dependent on amo and ambient conditions etc .
  4. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction . Isac I think .
  5. You are looking at Black powder then ? I have used an 8 ( or was it 4 bore ) any way keep swinging after the click , half a second later comes the bang ( still swinging through ) then an enormous cloud of smoke , then the question ......" did I hit it " ?
  6. Yea ! I use E=mc2 nearly every day
  7. I remember when every one who had a pump or auto had to send them off to have them crimped or put on FAC .
  8. We are talking " lawn sausage " here i presume
  9. I my eyes it does not matter what chain you use . Just keep it sharp . Simples ..
  10. You can buy / hire powered barrows . Might be worth having a look at one of those for ideas .
  11. Only over the fore shore
  12. Not used steel my self Mark as I don't shoot the marsh any more but I have heard that the steel tends to go through rather than flatten out like the lead and quarry can fly on a bit .
  13. Might also attack the rubber diaphragm in the purge on the filter .
  14. I know its not allowed to shoot water/wild fowl with lead weather they are below the mean high water mark or inland . How you police it is another matter .
  15. Did the same a few years back . Had to drop the tank out as it had no drain . Wont do it again . Had to get a vac pump to prime it all up again .
  16. Same Steve . Its why I asked .
  17. If you want to go bonkers there is square ground chisel but that is a bit of a " black art " in the sharpening ......
  18. I used to use an industrial linisher with the flat belts . Worked well . Think you can get single phase ones for home use unless you have 3 phase in your workshop .
  19. We had that old aluminium " door bell " type wire initially and it was painfully slow . Last year upgraded to super fast fibre and it goes like a freshly skinned whippet !
