    Mich

    I've moved your thread to the ammo forum. It'll get a faster response there. Also, can you take a picture of the markings on the base of the cartridge please

    Cheers

    Men can only ever do one thing at a time so, whatever it is you want me for, SOD OFF ! I am doing THIS !

    Top tip - If you get a detection and spend the next 30 minutes digging a 2 foot deep hole and you STILL haven't found the item......move to the side a little bit !!
