Any of youse guys know anything about these? 31" at the shoulder, weigh around 160lbs. Big mean ugly fughpigs. Used to be bred as guard dogs in Tibetan temples. I've only ever met one and he knocked me flat on my ass. Jee Zuss H K Riste. What a dog!

Gentlemen please let's all ease off. Many of the people contributing to this thread have been, rightly. rebuked by Sporting Shooter for aggro with the dog men. Are we now going to start fighting among ourselves? To me it seems fairly simple. If you can take a shot with the reasonable expectation that your quarry will drop with that one shot then there should be no problem. Obviously you can never be sure in advance of the shot that it will kill at once but if you are morally certain of a clean kill then take the shot, and be prepared to follow up if necessary. Or shall we all go out and get .7

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.

discouraged but not banned. way i look at it caps should be used to emphasise a point but there are other ways to do it. can't ban caps altogether or sentences will look very odd. ricw

Bit like Mr L's favourite subject about FEOs and FACs! It strikes me (unfortunate phrase) that if you are going out for deer you would use heavier "slow" expansion rounds but if Charley pops up he won't live long enough to regret it; if you are after Charley you will be loaded with light fragmenting rounds, but if you get an opportunity at a small deer, and can get the right shot, venison is on the menu - if, of c

Tell yer what sunshine. If you dislike this country, with its tradition of tolerance and decency, and fighting wars to maintain those standards, why don't you do yourself and the rest of us a favour and top yourself? You would send send a 10 year old girl back to a country which will kill her because her parents broke the religious rules? You are beneath contempt. If I have the choice between her and you as fellow citizens then you are on the next boat out.

Her mother is. Her father was killed by the regime, along with her brothers and sister. But sod that for a lark. A little girl tried to kill herself out of fear of being sent back. Are you prepared to send her back to die? Do you really want to live in a country that acts like that towards children? Ric I would say yes because they should have stayed in the first safe country they reach and there are many safe countries betwwen britain and nigeria. Richard Wrong. Nigeria used to be a British colony. The first place that refugees from the present (totally evil) Islamic reg

Having followed a lot of threads on this, it is clear to me that using fragmenting rounds to shoot deer is at best counter-productive. The tissue damage caused by a V-Max or Accu-tip destroys a lot of meat. Now, what intrigues me is the legal position. According to the Home Office and Met sites, Muntjac and CWD are not included in the regs about shooting deer in England & Wales, nor in the Scottish rules. (Although you must use a calibre of sufficient power to ensure a clean kill.) HOWEVER for shooting Roe, Fallow, Sika and Red the requirement is that "controlled expansion" rounds must

I've just read that the 10 year old Nigerian girl who tried to commit suicide rather than be sent back has been allowed to stay in this country. What are we coming to when the welfare of a little girl, who happens to be black, is regarded as important? I'd say that we are acting like civilised human beings, but then I'm a civilised human being. ARE YOU? Ric

Yer well, I didn't vote but I did comment. Just to repeat my final remark IF YOU DON'T VOTE DON'T COMPLAIN IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE RESULT. Use it or lose it. Ric

I liked Trapperman's response. Problem is, chap, that 17000 years ago the only hominid species living on the British mainland were Homo neanderthalensis. They have left no direct descendants. If you claim direct descent from the first human inhabitants of Britain - you don't exist! We should be so lucky. Moi? Wind people up? Je ne jamais fait pas.

We had a "Cod War" with Iceland over the 12 mile zone before the friggin EU was invented! We lost! Sneaky b'staards set uo a volcanic eruption and extended their borders by 15 miles. Not fair. Boo-hoo. Any way who cares who et 'em? They're long gone John. posted at 16.25. I await the 17.00 ning with mild but wa-ning interest. :tongue4: Ric

Just out of interest, what do all you anti immigrant BNP supporters get for a take-away after a few jars down the local? Chinese? No way they're bloody immigrants. Kebab? Forget it, they're bloody Arabs. Curry? Oh come on, get a life. They all bloody Moslems! Fish and chips? Tough shit, we've et all the fish in the North Sea. Don't you all get a bit bored with deep fried Mars Bars? I only ask because I'd like to know . . . Ric

Which Centerfire caliber to choose?

Utter bull crap I fear. Galileo proved that in 1613. The standard story is he dropped light and heavy cannonballs off the Leaning Tower of Pisa at the same time and they hit the ground at the same time. You can believe as much of that as you like, but weight does NOT affect rate of fall due to gravity. No, you are not being stupid. There are many more factors involved than bullet weight, not least being velocity, frontal area, &c &c. You have no need to go beyond .243, in fact you might make problems for yourself. As Jamie said, pick your bullet weight to match your quarry. If you went -
You aren't old enough to vote yourself. Just shut it boy, just shut it.

UKIP are the BNP in Blazers. BNP are the NF in suits. NF are Combat 18 in jeans and DMs. Combat 18 are Nazis. My father spent 6 years of his life fighting those f*ckers. Do any of you think I am going to sit back and let you spout their filth unopposed? Dream on. There are some decent people on this forum. Sadly, there are also a bunch of brainless shites who should have been aborted. Oh dear. I am getting really angry about all this. Hey, guys, this is a hunting forum, right? Let's all chill out - me included. Happy hunting to all. Ric

You are if you think the BNP are nationalist rather than racist. There may well be a difference (though historically the National Socialists didn't show much difference with their ludicrous 'Aryan' policies) but if the BNP understand it they're ignoring it. As those of yez who have checked my site will know I am studying Philosophy at Sussex uni. To call the BNP "fascist" is an insult to fascism. The entire philosophy of the BNP is negative, based on fear and hatred. They are a bunch of snivelling gutless little shites who want the real world to go away and leave them in their fanta
