    You haven’t been asked who cares what you think
    You have to shoot over other peoples land because you own nothing

    Oh contraire, I have been asked just not by you....

    As for shooting over other people's land, what on earth does that have to do with anything? (Rhetorical question)
    Thanks for looking

    Most feral people that don’t own any land call people
    Idiots when they have never met them so it’s very relevant
    You have also never tried the round or the that bullet weight or even
    Have access to a chrono unless someone lends you one on the lent land you shoot on

    Oh this is fun!

    You clearly have no proper grasp of the English language or the definition of feral...

    The idiot comment was, by my own admission, based purely on that one post.

    I find the choice of a lead ball over even a cast bullet idiotic in terms of accuracy for shooting live quarry.

    I find the idea that 13 gr of black powder can push a 20 gr projectile plus a cardboard wad to 4800 fps safely, if at all, idiotic.

    I find people posting load data that is a million miles from published or commonly accepted load data with no way of knowing if that is way over pressure, though the stated velocity would certainly suggest so, idiotic. I also find it hugely inappropriate and irresponsible when they suggest other people try said data.

    No, you're right I don't own a chrono, I don't need one as I know accuracy kills and wins comp's not speed - knowing speed is useful for working drops or for long distance, not for shooting pigeons or rats.....sure I could certainly buy one should I choose to do so,but as I have access to a club chrono and several mates with one I've never bothered.

    As for 'borrowing land' yes I guess I do but then the landowners are borrowing my ability to control wildlife in return, so works both ways. I certainly feel pretty happy with what I've achieved so far in life, so owning land, or not, really isn't a biggy....

    Dole scroat? Yes, that's just what I am honestly I'm more than happy, I don't measure my success against that of others or my town against someone else's.

    I do call out bad advice though.
    Thanks for looking

    well now that we are best friends the idiot agrees with
    You that beyond 30 yards the ball is not accurate
    The round disintegrates and there is minimal chance
    Of richochets or it going very far as the wind grabs it
    much less than a 22lr it’s as cheap as chips to load
    You will only shoot one Rat per night as it’s so loud that
    All the other rats run off
