billy boy 12g Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Hi all, I have recently gained a new permission and on the letter it states "useing a rifle up to .22 calibre." I have been told that includes up to .223. I just want to confirm what calibre I could have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Mule Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 > ask your FEO. > anything we say on here will be making assumptions as to what (s)he meant. If you start letting loose with a .223 and they intended an .22 LR - you will be in smelly stuff so deep you will need a snorkel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeadWasp Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) Umm aren't there 2 seperate issues here. If the permission letter says 'up to .22' then this is what the landowner wants and you need to clarify it with them, THEN there is the matter of what the land is cleared for by your police force. Anyway great news that you've got some new land! cheers Edited August 1, 2015 by LeadWasp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazed Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) Usually means 22 rf If it's cf is usually specified, ie 22 hornet, 223, 22-250 or 243 ...... U get the idea Edited August 2, 2015 by Amazed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 If the landowner is stating 'up to .22 calibre', then my assumption would be that they don't want anything greater than 22LR using on it (for whatever reason). You do need to check with the landowner EXACTLY what they mean, AND with your FEO that the land has been cleared (unless you have an open ticket, in which case you can forget the FEO). Do bear in mind that 'assuming' could put you in the position of armed trespass or being in breach of the conditions of your FAC. Neither one of those is somewhere I'd want to be !
