    I must have missed something ...but fox has orange eyes to me, although I have had a couple over the last two years with BLUE eyes, very unusual and new to me...my lad is colour blind and sees things I find strange, who knows what who else sees, but as long as it is consistant does it really matter?

    And Toyota Brakes don't work..... Lets have a look at the situation...................... The Original Wildcat had a problem. This was resolved several years ago! The Wildcat is completely stripable and every part is available as a spare! The Wildcat is probably the best value for money centrefire mod out there. There are other mods that may have the edge on sound reduction, and in some cases are arguably better built, but do not strip for cleaning and all cost more. The ASE range of Mods are all good on sound reduction but some screw up the balance big time and of cour

    Clint I hate to be the one to break this to you mate but £2 each or 3 for £5 means you are being seen off Perfectly normal treacle, called a bulk buy discount! Not sold any for a while, but when I was £2 each would have been a pretty good price. We used to get £3.50 a brace cleaned and skinned! Never did discount mate. After I'd skinned and gutted them I wanted the full whack. Don't do it anymore, would rather hedge them than bother my arse to gut and skin for a couple of quid. £1 each cleaned, to my Game Dealer, anything up to £3 each to other sources!

    ...so you mean with all HMR ammo (the 17g Ballistic tip being a hollow point with a polycarbonate insert)!!

    It's one of those moments when the FAC hits the door mat!

    Who can say, I kept my lad away from the tools, but he let go the air rifle about 7 or 8 and his first 12g at age 10. It was his idea and he had wanted to get involved long before I let him. He is now 22, has a co-terminus and is better with a shotgun than me.....and he likes to let me know !!

    Good going I'm pretty sure I have not been past 6 in a night personally, 5 a few times, including a job only about 10 days ago in a domestic suburban back garden when I took out Mum, Dad and all 3 cubs, arrived 21.15 and gone by 22.30. If only all the jobs went that well!

    They had an expolosion in the factory and it halted production. Kranks had a shipment recently so ask your dealer they are in stock now. i read that when i done a search, also a guy said they burned rather dirty. did you find this when you used them mate ? col. All powders/bullets have their own characteristics, some are dirtier than others. I notice a little more muck in the moderator with PRVI than some ammo, but mine are all Predator 8's, which get a clean each outing, as does the rifle, so it just isn't an issue. Define dirty?????????, I have known better and

    I think I have about 20+ of the one and only box I ever got involved with left, I'm not that impressed, not using them and not rushing out to get any more. I rather think this has been debated historically, perhaps worth a look back through the archives. Before you ask, mine came from the Beretta Gallery in London (GMK), was the only place that had them a few months back!
  12. Deker
    Put Simply the Americans like things to be American, and this makes them think it is, it's the same with Beretta and no doubt many more, take a look how many Berettas say Beretta USA on them..but made in Italy!

    I use the stuff in 55g SP .223 90g SP .243 150g SP .308 I am fortunate they all perform perfectly well enough in all my rifles for field work, some are not so lucky, a pal with a Rem 700 .308 gets 3-4 inches where as EXACTLY the same batch and box groups 1" in my Rem 700 .308 SPS without a lot of trouble. There is better ammo out there for sure (at a price) but it's still down to what your barrel can deal with, all my rifles like this stuff and I'm happy enough with it! Seems more than a bit short on supply for the last few months though, with delivery dates forever slipping

    Would that be a .22LR? In England, Scotland and Wales you have to advise your authority within 7 days of any sale (legal requirement). If you want another rifle you will also need to apply for a variation. No RFD will sell you another firearm anyway without a free slot of your FAC. The situation in N. Ireland/Ireland is a bit different I think! If you are unsure of anything contact your Firearms Dept!

    I have to disagree. From a legal point of view it is very specific. If they prosecute you they have to show that you have acquired something for which you do not have an FAC. If you have an FAC which says ".22Rim-Fire" the court will ask only two questions; "Is this a .22?" and; "is this a rimfire?". If you are possessing a .22WMR on a .22RF authority then how could you possibly be convicted of unlawful possession as it's a .22 cal and is a rim-fire? In fact, if it's an offence to possess a .22WMR on a .22RF authority, then surely so would it be to possess a .22LR, or a .22 Short, or a .2

    Problem is you will find it does not. Many RFD will be unhappy with .22Rimfire and may well refuse you WMR, others may be ok. It is bad wording and bad form as you have to justify the usage of each gun, there is a lot of difference between a .22lr and a .22WMR! It's just unclear and handled differently by different regions and different RFD. It should not be!

    I struggle with this sort of post.....both calibres are excellent but tend to have different uses. A .22lr with subs is approx 100ft lb, a .22WMR with 40g is approx 320ft lb! Noise and costs are also issues...how on earth is anyone meant to answer the question? What do you want to do with it?? I have BOTH..and a HMR, and I have uses for all of them, situations and circumstances.
  19. Deker
    Any calibre can ricochet, and my 17g HMR ammo certainly has!
  20. Deker
    .22Rimfire is a very unspecific listing and leads to posts like this. Mine, and everyone else I know specifically lists...lr...WMR...NOT Rimfire! This is bad form on the part of the police, but I have gathered through the pages of this site that some people do have a listing of rimfire. Should not happen in my view and is yet another example of the way different regions deal with firearms.

    I think John was trying to before the chukkle bro's woke up. The question was answered before you woke up! Not only haven't you got anthing to add to the thread, the rubbish you come out with is innacurate anyway! Have a nice day!

I rather think so!....... I WISH YOU HAD STARTED ANOTHER THREAD.................. SERIOUSLY is important here, and in simple terms for field work the answer is NO, If you fired loads in quick succession down the range and fried your barrel them perhaps yes!

    Hey, I believe you will find that it is Dicker who is regurgitating the issue. This thread has come to it's end, with nothing but Berkering. Tally ho. John I take it that means you will be leaving the thread then

    Gosh it's the Berkshire trio I guess it's all in the name John I guess that means no TopDown, he appears to have a very big mouth and very small balls! Still waiting for a response to this as well.. To be honest I'm amazed that anyone on n open forum would admit to reloading and supplying ammunition to a friend. Isn't that illegal? John Making suggestions as to legality needs legal backing...ACT and section would be appreciated! Deker I struggle with you John, there are times you appear almost human, but just because you read it in a book or on the web doe

    To be honest Dicker, either you're just plain stupid or can not read. I will again, ask the question. To be honest I'm amazed that anyone on n open forum would admit to reloading and supplying ammunition to a friend. Isn't that illegal? Now when you and your small army make it so crap that people can not ask a question on a public forum, this forum will be left to you, Ill-logical and who ever your third member of the clan of Berks is but until that point in time, I and everyone else can and will ask questions. There is an old saying "There is no such thing as a stupid question,
