  1. Hi Everyone.

    I could really do with your help please! 

    l1_ammo_winchester_super_x_22_lr_40_gr_h.p._1435_fps_ammo_483529a.jpg.b1724c0ee8183a8e4a4ac9d92249b34e.jpg

    I'm after some of these, please note it's the 40g 1435FPS version.

    I'm also looking for some of these....

    Preferably the Hollow Point, but I'll be happy to find either.

    Can Anyone help please, where can I find these please?  Aguila appears to be having UK stock issues, and to be honest I've never seen the Winchester.

    These are for a Pistol, I need to check energy, we don't actually import anything that could be called Self Defence Pistol .22LR into the UK, all the stuff is target.   I need this for Humane Dispatch.  At the low end of the energy scale I don't have any issues, at the Top end I use CCI Velocitors, there is a suggestion I may get a hint more energy from the ammo here.  Barrel is only 2.75inches, so VERY little powder burn time!  I'm just trying to find the top energy I can get from my .22LR pistol.  I have other calibres to deal with other situations!

    Many thanks!

    Tragically I agree...... and she will then cost us even more, she will need housing and financing and be given a new identity and security!!!

  3. Hydrogen needs to be explored far more than it is.    Japan is doing well with Hydrogen cars in Japan, and Jim Radcliffe has one in the making.    There are other examples of Hydrogen vehicles but they appear to get very little publicity.

    Electric seems a conspiracy promoted by Governments and lapped up by the gullible.   Electric is NOT the saviour of all transport, it has a long way to go in terms of its Green credentials, practicality and of course cost!!! 

    On the face of it Hydrogen has a lot going for it.  So why don't we hear more about it???

    Plenty of stalkers have been using non toxic for a long time now without any problems.  Some guys actually prefer copper over lead .

    I will worry about a lead ban when it happens which could be 5 years away yet who knows.

    I hope you are right, I have a decent allowance and good stock of ammo at the moment, I'll try and keep it that way!!

    There are already non toxic alternatives available. 

    I know, and energy has shown itself to be a problem, also weight and twist.  The .243 is very unlikely to be the all singing go to Deer round in the future, there will potentially be limitations on its energy performance, and accuracy, making it much less attractive for deer!!!

    That's what I stated above. Personally I think the .243 is the best option as it also covers you for all species of deer 👍

    I have concerns if it will continue to do so with the Non Toxic ammo, I don't know, but some may well fall below energy requirements!!!!! 

  7. Tricky one, ammo not cheap and the .204 performance has been questioned historically.   I've not shot one for what must be about 10 years, it was a brief encounter for the owner who simply didn't get on with it.   To get the best out of it you always needed a very long barrel, is that still the case?

    Not really taken off here, but I suspect someone will come along and tell you its the best calibre in the world.

    Plenty of others to choose from as listed by FOXHUNTER above (plus Hornet), unless you have specific thoughts why it should be a .204, I personally would pass and go .223.

    We are facing imminent grief with all the NON LEAD ammo laws, so who really knows what existing calibres will continue to work.

    :good:

  8. Ok, who can give me an idiots guide please???    I've just about got my head around image intensifier scopes, and now Thermal scopes are turning up all over the place!!!

    Who has one, good points, bad points, what you would do if you bought again????

    I would not want to make a mistake with the price tag of most, is it too early to invest, will quality improve/price reduce over the next year or two?

    All views appreciated.

    Cheers

    PS SCOPES SPECIFICALLY please, not spotters!!   Thanks
