    Ok, perhaps it was me who didn't put it across clearly ..... I hear what you say and do and what happens...but that doesn't add up, something is happening somewhere and I can see nothing obvious, but to repeat, scope!?

    Are the baffles in the mod falling apart? It seems odd, and frankly that doesn't help a lot, but I can't really see it being anything but the scope, but I still don't really get it after that description?

    I'm not sure why, but that does seem to be the case, I don't seem to have missed anything in the field with split brass, but on a slightly more scientific footing, I used the HMR at 100 yards at Bisley last Sunday, 11 shots, 3 split cases but it didn't show in POI, so.........

    Everyone will have an opinion and of course everyone is right. For my money, I hate the things with a vengeance and wouldn't let one anywhere near any of my rifles!

    The trigger can wave about like a flag, the stock can contact the barrel as much as you like, ammo can even be clipping the mod (do you have one?) none of that will make it keep losing zero, IF you can set the zero up! As long as everything is bolted on tight and stays bolted on tight the problem is very likely to be the scope!

    The Style was not designed to have a Floating Barrel, and it hardly matters anyway on a HMR, virtually everyone who mounts a bipod on any of the plastic stock CZ Rimfires, and many of the wood stocks, ends up contacting the barrel, so does anyone who uses a sling, they tend to be rather flexible!

    I've been lucky to be fair Rimmer. Although i did have to wait quite a while for something last year and was getting p****d off so i gave them a call. That left me feeling worse as the bloke on the end of the phone was totally uninterested..... From what i've been told, (i may be wrong) Pete doesn't actually run the company, or "man the phones". But his personality is such that i don't think you'd get much change out of him either! He's what you would call an "aquired taste" Recently i was in his shop. My god is it an Alladins cave!! I heard a posh customer ask him if he prefered to be cal

    As others have said...... ....and what ammo, barrel length, do you have a mod, scope mount height, etc., the fact is the arc will probably make it similar to 50 yards.

    They will NOT fragment very well, they are Jacketed HP, they will peel back and expand mushroom fashion, or go clean through depending where you hit the fox, possibly both. Just exactly where do you think you were hitting these foxes, because whatever you may think, if you put one of these in the right place the fox will fall down! "rezerod 1.5" high at 100yds as per usual" WHY, if you are shooting foxes -120, why are you not zeroed at 100 yards, and just where is the zero if you are 1.5" high at 100 yards?? Most of my fox's are shot between 100 and 300 yards if i hold crosshairs o

    Make of this what you will..................... AE223G, American Eagle .223 50g HP. I have a few boxes but can't remember the last time I used them, favouring SP or Ballistic tips generally for the field. But I was at Bisley yesterday so I thought I would give them a try, they need using up. Tikka .223 T3 Lite Stainless, 19.5" barrel, 1-12 twist, P8 Compact calibre specific mod, Harris Bipod, Prone, Short Siberia 200 yards, wind NIL, 10 shot string, ammo taken from 10 shot plastic ammo insert in box as it came with no sorting of any description. Rifle is Zeroed at a TRUE 20

    It is hardly going to be opened if this is his 1st permission and he doesn't use or have permission for rimfire on it! Hence my question above......... What do you do with your rimfire at the moment?

    Just don't see the point, and obvious accuracy issues come to mind and...How long will it last?

    I'm not getting picky, he said like he always does (with his previous ammo, that was the impression I got anyway) shooting 1.5 inches high, that may give a 200 yards zero with his usual ammo, with Federal (AE) HP it is not likely to be on the same zero! Whichever way you want to look at it, no fox is going walkabout if it is hit in the right place with this Federal (AE) stuff, so he isn't hitting it in the right place, that could be down to the zero, ammo, or shooter, possibly his barrel just doesn't like this stuff, it happens, plenty of other possibilities as well! :thumbs:
  17. Deker
    That isn't that much of a surprise, it can happen with many types of ammo and largely depends on distance and density of what it hits, especially bone/soft fleshy tissue. A while back I dropped a Muntjac with a .223 55g Wolf HP and look as I might, I couldn't find the way in or out until I skinned it, I have also dealt with other deer with these and the heart was mush and the exit as big as your fist!! I have a few boxes left of AE (Federal) .223 HP simply because I prefer the SP or V-Max types on the whole for my requirements, I find HP ok, but just don't find much to do with them!
  18. Deker
    So do I, it works for me and what I do, but I do have a decent selection of tools, everyone has different shooting situations/requirements and there are lots of other calibres as well!

    I'm getting lost with all the Bull here, YES, you can have a .243 on first grant for Fox, or whatever you like if you can justify it! THE END! do you mean me with the bull Firearms Law says you can have what you can justify! And also remember the 2002 Home Office Guide to the Police lists .243 as FOX suitable. So think about some of the replies......... thank you for the info ive used 223 and 243 how would you rate a 22.250 compared ? I run .223, .243, .308, (4 rimfires, a couple of air rifles, inc FAC and some shotguns) I have no need for a 22-250

    Have you had ricochets come back towards you? No, have you?, that was my point unless you are being cryptic?? It needs several impact point to create a 180 degree ricochet, ie, into a quarry or similar, or maybe you want to argue that too? The danger of a ricochet is largely one of hitting someone outside the line of fire, not in front of it. And yes of course I've seen that .50 video, only thing I can say is only in America What YOU should be asking yourself is why have I had ricochets coming back at me, and as the 50cal video shows, they all do it it if you

    So, who is twisting your arm? Get the right load for the barrel in either case and any difference at 100 yards will not be worth talking about!
  24. Deker
    We are all different people. Whatever floats your boat!

    As someone else said, VERY close sometimes, and I have had to stop more than one getting too close. They will come charging at you sometimes, but as we all know at other times they will simply turn and run in the opposite direction.
