Its really a matter of personal opinion as they both can be used for target and hunting just some people prefer different cals. I'm personally .177 and I always will be, just try different cals and find which best suits you.
I have a Milbro and they shoot great; well worth buying one! I don't tend to use squares because there only really good with big leads but the up side is they have a long band life.
There just low life people that don't understand that hunting isn't all about 'fun' its about controlling population and stopping disease from being spread to cattle etc..
Fantastic watch! I also go out days on end on my bike looking for permissions. Its good to see you put the pigeon to good use and enjoyed eating it, never turn a free meal down Cheers for sharing
