We have yet to discover a supply of factory made ammo at prices cheaper than we can reload for. Could you divulge the name of your cheaper than dirt supplier? The cheapest we have found for some of the calibres is PPU from Kranks but even with their budget prices we can reload for less.<br /><br />Atb <br /><br />WilfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825273392145948457.post-42504313848952107832014-04-21T18:56:08.314+01:002014-04-21T18:56:08.314+01:00Sten, I'm sure there are a LOT of things I'...Sten, I'm sure there are a LOT of things I'm missing. One day, given the opportunity, I'd probably try horse meat. I'm not opposed to the idea, but just too emotionally attached to the critters themselves to do the dirty work myself. Sort of like bears, I guess, which is another animal I can't make myself shoot. <br /><br />And Jonathan, thanks for chiming in. Didn't <i>really</i> think you shot the pony... it's just the timing of the cut and a bizarre sense of humor (that was apparently not unique). I definitely enjoyed the video, and look forward to more. I'm not likely to ever take the opportunity to hunt in your part of the world, but I do enjoy seeing how folks go about it there.Philliphttp://www.hog-blog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825273392145948457.post-79912810070001183472014-04-20T08:03:29.876+01:002014-04-20T08:03:29.876+01:00Chas

I thought that those long cartridges looked like .30-06, and then I convinced myself that it was unlikely that anyone in the UK would be shooting that caliber, so perhaps they were 7x57 . . .Chas S.

A big calibre and easily suitable for all deer in the park be that the huge reds, fallow, sika, roe or muntjac.<br /><br />The next film is in progress, it follow my guide whilst Roe Buck stalking.
