    How much can you make your .308 reloads for ? And how much did the reloading equipment you needed cost? Thanks very much

    Ok thanks for that I was confused why even with a perfect head shot they dropped on the ground, and then had the spasms you refer to Thanks for clearing it up though

    I managed to get my FAC with .17HM2 on it just after my fifteenth birthday. The best way I found was to get a 'mentor' - someone who already has an FAC and is willing to show you the ropes, so that when you apply, you can say you have some understanding about the rifle and are safety conscious. A mentor can be anyone who owns an FAC, (mine was a mate of my dad). But if there is anyone on any shooting forums (including this one) near your area who are willing to let you use their rifle(s) then that is the best way to get an FAC. It also helps alot if you join a club, this also shows you

    Does anyone know which ones kill the rabbits better? I have noticed using Federal Balistic Tips the rabbit doesnt drop stone dead straight away when i hit them right in the center of the head - possibly due to the large wound it creates and lack of penetration? There is no exit wound either, i suppose this is good as all the energy is impacted, but a through and through in the head might be a better kill? Would the 20gr Full Metal Jacket be better to use ?

    My local gun shop sells .17HMR Federal Balistic Tip for £10.50 per 50 Hornady are about £11 per box at Chris Potter Country Sports Sportsman Gun Center sells .17HMR Winchester Supreme V-Max Silver Tip for £16 per 100 (£8 per 50) - I have yet to buy any of these though, I just rung them up. Sound good though

    One like this Bushnell Banner 6-18x50 Illuminated for £200 reduced to £90 at Sportsman Gun Center does look like quite a deal. Are Bushnell Banner Scopes any good?
  11. elvolcan
    Ok i will save up Thanks for your honest replies, and good help ATB
  12. elvolcan
    Its an excellent calibre, very powerful and nice flat trajectory A picture of my .17HMR Rifle is in my signature ATB

    How about this scope on the .17HMR ? Bushnell Banner 6-18x50 Illuminated for £90 down from £200 at Sportsman Gun Center Great deal? Will the optics be much better than the BSA ? Or this Simmons Prohunter 6-24 x 42 AO for £130 http://www.swillingtonshootingsupplies.co....r-6-24-x-42-AO/ I want the best possible quality scope that has at least 18x for rabbit shooting - what can you reccomend thats good value ? Needs to be under £150 , as i dont see any need to spend silly money , as my BSA 6-24X50 is actully doing 85% of what i want allready. ( got it for £45 - usually

    Yep it sure is, but the SAK sound moderator is very effective, my one anyway - try it without the moderator on and the shot sounds very loud.
  16. elvolcan

    elvolcan replied to wuzzy's topic in Airgun Hunting

    you get what you pay for, obviously it wont have the quality of the harris, which are excellent - i imagine it will a bipod but not much more for £25 ATB

    what gun is that? and what ft/lbs? ATB
  21. elvolcan
    Yeah in sub 12flt/lbs a .177 is still quite accurate the .22 pellet at only 12ft/lbs can suffer a bit ithink ATB
  22. elvolcan
    £10.50 per 50 sorry about the confusion per 100 would be very ince though
  23. elvolcan
    thanks for your help, especially mr.logic - it helps me understand different scopes a lot more. can i ask would these scopes be any good on my .17hmr for instance? which is the better brand? Nikko Stirling Platinum Nite Eater 6-24x56 £230 down to £180 Bushnell Trophy 3-9x40 £150 down to £70 ATB
  24. elvolcan
    i guess but they only have like 6x zoom unless you want to pay about 2grand lol
  25. elvolcan
    What are the prices of these scopes? Why are they better than my BSA Essential 6-24X50 AO? The BSA looks to me like really an excellent scope , even at 24X zoom it is very good I like to see the target close up , so i can try to make a better shot :hmm:
