Funny old day. Went to Gunshop to buy some new wellies, £100 later got my boots. Thought I would enquire about Ammunition for my rifle, it so happens they are now selling ex Serbian Sniper Ammo for my .243 for £9.00 for 20, 105 grain what a bargain as I have been paying up to £30. Well off to Kynoch underground range at Lakenheath next week to see how they perform !

You gonna become a mechanic Dave?
good money in "wet work"
Too young to die and too old to give a toss -
I have, among other rifles, a most venerable .303 that I was given by a shooting mate. Getting ammo for that was an absolute nightmare - £20 for 20 rounds! So I took up home loading and got it down to around 20p a round
Now since sprog #3 arrived, shooting time has been terribly thin on the ground, and it's mostly .22 on the golf course for rabbits, but I have high hopes of getting back down to my mate's spread in Yorkshire to play with the bigger calibre stuff, maybe bag a deer even if I'm there at the right time

Don't mention reloading !!!!!
I've still got a shedload of reloading kit that the Government refused to pay compensation for after they banned pistols - their reasoning was that it could be used for reloading for rifle calibres ...
The fact that it's not particularly economic to spend hundreds of pounds on reloading kit unless you shout thousands of rounds was completely ignored as was the fact that the huge glut of secondhand reloading kit reduced the value to pennies

You are right there. My Brother has a .308/.7.62 and his Mate has a .357, No wonder they put the range underground !Originally posted by wetdog View Postaahhh, good old 7.62, whens its shot, it stays shot

I can't believe all that nice hardware was scrapped. I reccon the home office sold all the handguns to international arms dealers in order to fund the compensation.Originally posted by Predictable Bob View Post

I had, all in an immaculate condition, Colt Python .357 mag, S&W.38 airweight, Browning 9mm & a couple of .22 rimfires. Though the comp was not unreasonable, it went now way towards stopping me feeling bitter about having to hand everything in at the nick.
And of course, as all of us FAC holders know. the whole exercise did wonders for reducing armed crime......Comment

I would be interested in buying what you have if you wanted to get rid of it would be going to a good home and will get used
I am getting a 9mm pistol soon (when the red tape is sorted) so want to start reloading
