    If your local RFD told you that, then go to an RFD who isn't a moron! Proof law for moderators - there isn't one. Proof law for rifles - grey area with regard to moderators and screw cutting. IF the rifle needs to be cut, then the RFD MAY make you have it proofed. This is definitely not a legal requirement if you aren't selling the rifle to anyone, and is arguable if you are. Either way, for a simple "I want to buy a moderator", proof law doesn't come into it. Only when you talk screw cutting a rifle does proofing come into the equation. If your rifle cut already?

    I had the standard, in .308, shot really well in terms of accuracy but I was't at all at home with the stock or balance so I sold it. Would recommend the barreled action, just make sure teh stock you get is comfy for you.
  3. Mr_Logic
    Good good, just checking...
  4. Mr_Logic
    You mean the lightweight, varmint-designated ballistic tips, don't you... Because the ones designed for deer would be an excellent decision...
  5. Mr_Logic
    As I presumed, you can not supply any legislative information backing up your opinion that Polymer tipped bullets are defined by UK law as soft or hollow nosed. Could you please supply ANY manufacturer data for V-max that states the bullets are either soft or hollow pointed bullets? John Go on www.nosler.com Have a look at the picture of the bullet. You will find that it has a polymer tip up front, behind which there is a bloody great cavity. Therefore by definition it is HOLLOW, therefore it is a HOLLOW POINT! The fact that it is not what you or I would qualify as a hollow

    When you can produce legislation that either defines polymer tipped bullets as either hollow or soft point or ANY legislation that condones the use of polymer tipped bullets for deer control then you might have a point to make, other wise it's just your opinion, which is wrong. John Sorry, but you've got that the wrong way round. In this country, something is legal until such time as it is outlawed. The law does not define hollow or soft point bullets beyond the words "hollow" and "soft nosed". Consequently, the polymer tip is allowed because it DOES have a hollow point - look

    Thanks all. I was mainly curious about the legal definition of "controlled expansion". Seems to be another of those vague legal terms which can be interpreted any old which way. Two last points. Does the .240 minimum for deer in England and Wales apply to CWD and Muntjac? Ric V-max are neither hollow or soft point in construction. Anyone who has the most basic of knowledge can explain why that is, it would be grossly absurd to explain other wise and akin to suggesting FMJ bullets are soft points with a bit of copper to protect the soft tip. V-max do not expand in a predictable manner.

    3 years? you've done well!! Mine had some rust in it after about 3 months. Sound moderation on them is fine but they last hardly at all. I'd get another mod mate, either a P8 Compact, or much better, an ASE Jet Z.
  9. Mr_Logic
    This has been done before, but here we go again... Legally, the bullet must be of hollow or soft point construction. That's the wording. V-max count because they have a hollow point, with a plastic tip to guarantee a more uniform expansion. Depending on the jacket thickness, this may also end up making it so violent as to be considered fragmenting. however, from a purely legal standpoint there is nothing wrong with them. Then we come to the humane kill arguments... First up - this section applies to roe, CWD and muntjac, as these are the deer species which are relatively small
  10. Mr_Logic
    PMSL! Vmax has that effect. Picture if you will, a rabbit at 40 or less yards with a 243 70 grain Nosler ballistic tip. Not much left to scoop into the hedge. Maybe it's wrong of me but I always laugh when I see stuff like that.
  11. Mr_Logic
    Maybe for a fallow, but munties fall over just fine with a 223 and a 50gr ballistic tip, so 243 is just fine...
  12. Mr_Logic
    I've not had a Buckmaster, so can't really comment, but personally I'd stick with Burris, I really like the build quality and optics of mine.
  13. Mr_Logic
    Burris. I have a Fullfield II 3-9x50 ballistic plex on my Hornet, it's great. Leupold VX-I is crappy in all respects, and personally I don't rate MTC as being much better than bearable.
  14. Mr_Logic
    Of course they're good!
  15. Mr_Logic
    Twist is 1:9. They're stamped .223 Rem, which to me = they're .223 Rem. I'd avoid 5.56 ammo, no need for it anyway. Mine likes most things, from 50gr AE JHPs to handloads with a 70gr Berger and 23.5gr AA2230. Shoots very straight, just need to remember if handloading to use a fast powder otherwise you lose velocity. Also, with your P8, you will find it more manageable by far if you convert it to the compact version, conversion stuff available from Andrew Banner, no difficulty in changing, just a new rear piece.
  16. Mr_Logic
    I've not used one either, from what I hear they work pretty well. My only worry would be the shiny steel on the lamp, so that'll need tape or something, but I would also be interested to hear how it works.
  17. Mr_Logic
    Accuracy gains are not as much in 204, all the original calibre reviews raved about it, and the factory stuff still seems to be quicker than reloads. But they aren't cheap
  18. Mr_Logic
    It's been quiet, hit them hard last year, only 10-15 this year tbh.
  19. Mr_Logic
    204 isn't what I'd use on targets! Bisley says you should have IIRC max muzzle velocity of 3275. Max energy now covered by HME restrictions to 4500 joules.
  20. Mr_Logic
    Just so long as it's not Bisley... 204 is way in excess of Bisley range regs
  21. Mr_Logic
    I tried CCI yesterday, jams all over the place. Eley subs cycle pretty much flawlessly for me, so despite their now-extortionate cost, I will stick with them!
  22. Mr_Logic
    Ric if you are thinking mainly daylight use (and that those ranges I hope you are!!) then I would get something with good adjustments rather than the finest glass. I love Zeiss optics, they're fantastic, but when I looked into the long range stuff, there was the occasional murmur that Zeiss adjustments weren't as good as Nightforce, US Optics, that type of thing. So I went with Nightforce. My requirements were 1000 yards for 308 without any MOA base. Nightforce and Leupold do it, + some others. Zeiss didn't do it, which is why I didn't get Zeiss. The Mildot ret on my Nightforce is

    LMAO

    quality - good shooting John!

    Well done Ian I had one tonight as well, small vixen out on the fields. Spotted her a long way off, just walked on in and shot her - she seemed pretty oblivious and was lame as well, so all rather humane! Also had a squirrel - strange one that - I was shooting the 22LR, there was a tree just behind and off from the one on which my target was. Mid-way through a 10-shot mag, this squirrel just sits slightly off from the target, perfectly safe shot so adjusted, nailed the squirrel and then finished the group. Not had that before
