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

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.
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......

Whilst we're on the subject and I'm bored....When I was a kid in Colchester, someone thought it would be a good idea to rob the gun shop......

Yes that makes the whole thing a bit more affordable. It will be interesting to see how they perform alongside Premium Rounds like Federal. I will post results as there are a few guys into there rifles on here.BTW They are called Privi Partizan OMG what a name !

They are inexpensive here.
Privi means first, and you know what a Partizan is.

I like my MP5

You are right there. My Brother has a .308/.7.62 and his Mate has a .357, No wonder they put the range underground !

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 !

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

You gonna become a mechanic Dave? good money in "wet work"
