    Rifled slugs would often be used, weight and shape adding to stability, I understand they don't actually spin much, or a sabot would commonly be used in a rifled barrel. As already mentioned, accuracy over distance is a joke, but they do the job close, very limited use really in this country just the same!

    Cheap dimmer, about £2.50 I seem to remember from China I have stripped the Dimmer unit out...... and rewired my Max with the dimmer circuit completely contained, Centre control is the Max beam adjuster, the rotary control to the right is the dimmer. The two slot head electrical bolts visible hold the circuit board in place internally, perhaps a drop of black paint on them sometime. Excellent performance and much neater and less wiring than before! One lead out of the Max now direct to the battery (via fusing and connector at battery end as previously), I

    I was not aware they did such a Hawke Varmint!?

    Once you know the gun/ammo the difference is hardly monumental, just the same, as sensibly close to the barrel as possible is always best!

    Top is the new 4-16x44SF(.22WMR), 3rd down is the older 3-12x42(.22lr). They are perfectly adequate for my requirements and have worked within my expectations, I have never had to refuse a shot due to the scope and have no interest in upgrading either, but I prefer the SF to front.

    Almost any ammo is suitable for a bit of zeroing and breaking in a new rifle. After that you need to try a few and find what works best for the rifle and quarry. Zero should be checked for any change of ammo, or indeed any batch change of the same ammo to be sure! PPU works well enough for me in all field conditions in .223/.243/.308!

    Sorry chaps, I was not trying to start an international incident. Why does anyone want to know about the Bugatti Veyron, hardly anyone can afford one, why do people want to try a .5 Barrett, a pretty pointless bunny gun, etc. As it happens I run my own Pest Control company and knowing your opposition is a good idea, whoever they are!

    :hmm: :hmm: What are you talking about, I have no interest whatsoever working for Ecolab and I'm not looking for a job with anyone. Thank you!

    Looks like there is some legs in this thread yet!

    Crumbs...thanks, but this was just curiosity, I'm not trying to sell my soul to them!

    Well, it sure as heck isn't like me to say it but............. calm down lads. Things are at least a little clearer now on his FAC terms. ATB!

    Thanks, seems to show why I'm struggling with this!

    Why not? OP says land is passed for all calibres! Because if he has a closed ticket the firearms officer will have to check the land first to approve it However if your friend has an open ticket you could shoot under his supervision as long as you have the permission from farmer No he can't, he has to adhere to the conditions written on his own certificate, not his mates. exactly charlie …….the nominated land to which the certificate holder can shoot over will be named on his certificate , flout the conditions on your certificate you risk losing it Come on Charlie.

    delswal Posted Yesterday, 08:16 PM " If tornados conditions state the certificate has been granted for shooting over NAMED land and is a closed ticket , he cannot use the firearms on any other land unless the conditions on his certificate are changed to do so , regardless wether the land is passed or not" And if as Walshie writes it says........... "land deemed suitable by the chief constable" he is fine. Perhaps you should calm down a bit, seems you are making assumptions as well, the advice given in this thread is sound, you have gone out on a limb making assumpt

    Help me out please someone, I know Ecolab are American but where are they actually based in England, the Pest Control division I mean, and who is the MD/CEO/Boss of the Pest Control side of their operation. I know quite a lot about them but just having an idle chat with some pals yesterday and it dawned on me I don't actually know the above info. Thank you!

    Potentially correct, but it would seem he doesn't have an Open FAC, or have I missed that somewhere?
  19. Deker
    Which part of the world are you talking about, in mainland England/Wales a closed FAC is very common at first grant, and is associated with all calibres, not just the centrefires.

    Only use the wire wool if you have to, start with a soft cloth and oil, you may well find that works, if not you may have to start getting more aggressive, as mentioned use a VERY Fine grade of wire wool or you will make the barrel worse!
  21. Deker
    In "very simple" terms it isn't................. For a SGC, you are entitled to one unless they can show good reason why you should not be granted one. For a FAC you can't have one unless you can demonstrate good reason why you should to them, that may well include your character!

    Anyone who has stood in the Butts at any decent range will tell you about the boom as the bullet flies over your head! It is interestingly different to the boom you hear when you are actually firing the gun as the propellant bang is not part of the noise anymore!
  23. Deker
    The bullet goes through the speed of sound in the barrel, from the moment it leaves the barrel it is decelerating, it isn't any distance from the barrel when it breaks the speed of sound, it has already done that in the barrel. The fact is the air pressure wave becomes audible a few feet after the bullet exits the barrel.

    That is certainly possible and can indeed happen, but the obvious question has to be asked if that is the case, "what conditions are you storing your ammo in?" I have never had a problem with split cases and I have had loads. Probably more likely is no primer in the rim, or no powder in the case!
  25. Deker
    So what, just because you don't know anyone your way, or even if a region will not condition a .22lr (or HMR) for fox (many actually condition the .22lr for AOLQ anyway, this is an ACPO recommendation now) so what? There are plenty of people on this site with Fox or AOLQ against their rimfires, are you suggesting their regions all have it wrong, and because you don't know anyone yours are right? .22lr stops foxes my way, and wherever I have tried them, perhaps your region needs educating. The new Home Office guide has actually acknowledged the existence of the HMR and seems perfectly hap
