You are right about our laws, the police here never bother us as long as we aren't out thieving off the farms. A few pricks spoiling it for genuine lads
http://www.ronniesunshines.com/arms-field-diablo-pellets-p-1056.html yes they exist, looking at them the other day whilst browsing £10.99 for 500 pellets
For shooting in barns have a look at the ratcatcher rifle, small, lightweight and about 9 foot pound

As long as your gun likes the pellets you are firing then all calibres are accurate, I've shot .22 and .177 and never really noticed .177 flying longer. I prefer .22 but others prefer .177, so it's just down to personal choice really
There isn't really much of a chase with that though, just a quick phone call. Coyotes with staghounds and the other american breeds of hounds, just to hear them sing on the scent
Who said I ran 2 together all the time? The fen dogs wouldn't catch on the small fields I do but the dogs I've seen running on them wouldn't make the grade on the fens My best day pre-ban was 9 and if I had ran the other dog with him it would of been double figures but it was simply pest control and not sport
Hares should be ran by either 1 or 2 dogs, there is no rules as such with lurchers. I've got a saluki cross pup and he will get tried by himself and doubled up when he is older. There is no such thing as a proper dog for them as all crosses can and will catch them. I've got a bad name anyway so I'm not bothered what you say
