    I hope the FTT's are ok but looks like they might be a turkey. The JSB Jumbos cost £12 for 350 which doesn't seem overly excessive.
    You can spend thousands and still miss a barn door or spend just enough and enjoy yourself. If you haven't got the talent to start with a million pound won't fix it. Whippet, Russell, a few bang sticks and a flat cap. http://www.smart-tech1st.co.uk

    I use Jumbos in my 50 ft lb Ranger and they are by far the best I have tried in it.

    I have zeroed it at 50 yards and earlier this week I took a woodie at 70 yards with just a mildot holdover. Awesome calibre and I am well impressed with the Galatian.

    Sounds like the perfect squirrel bashing set up. How much was it Rob if you don't mind me asking? I've read the sub 12ft/lb versions can be picked up for around £300!

    I paid £540 for it but it is the only FAC .25 in the UK which I had to get transferred from another RFD. I spoke to Edgar Brothers and it would be a three month wait and it lists at £600. The price isn't relevant because its going nowhere soon

    (The JSB Jumbos cost £12 for 350 which doesn't seem overly excessive.) £7.50 a tin from countryway gunshop. I use them in my bt65 and my at44 single shot and both love them.
