.222 for roe in this country

[Squirrel_Basher 17,102]

Has anyone heard rumours that the .222 could soon be legal for roe in England and Wales as it is in Scotland.{im aware that its the velocity in Scotland and not the calibre]

The sporting media keeps on about the need for a cull so lowering the calibre would bring stalking within range :11: of a lot more people who concentrate mainly on fox.Whats the difference between roe in Scotland to one England or Wales?.

It will be velocity/ft lbs down here also, but basically all the .22 centrefires will qualify, except the hornet.

Isnt there abit of a grey area as to wether you can use the .222 on Muntjac ,CWD and Roe or just the First two and not the Roe????

P.S,i cant stand those bds arseholes.I could tell you a story or two about some of there top boys :realmad:
