understanding calibers

[SNAP SHOT 194]

Cheers for your replys, this is exactly the information and type of debate i am looking for, i am in the process of trying to obtain enough permission to be eligable for a FAC. I am doing ok at getting smallholdings and livery yards but larger areas are a struggle, at the present moment i just shoot an air rifle (AA S410) and am a bit frustrated at the short ranges i am restricted to (i dont really take shots over 30 yds as i PERSONALLY think thats about the limit for 12 ft lbs ).

I am also tempted to look into an FAC air rifle as my strugle for suitable ground continues ( I am going to start a seperate post to find out the pros and cons of FAC air) this is a compromise on what i would ideally like but possibly a better situation than i'm in now if cant get any larger areas. Would holding an air FAC be of any benefit to a later application for further FAC's?

Cheers Adam

 

 

mate hang in there on the permission front and knock on a few doors, the worst they can say is no, i started out with around 100 acres of permission,

 

a little fox control and word has spread and permission has flowed from others, i'd say spread out i got around 800 to 1000 acres in one patch,

 

around 200 in another, and 300 acres in another county.....!!!! 2 1/2 drive away but excellent deer ground....

 

 

good luck.
