Thanks for all your replies lads, food for thought indeed.....

I've just picked up some more land that, for noise reasons, requires that I use a moderated .22lr on the rabbit population.
Having never owned a .22lr semi-auto I just wondered what kind of accuracy I could expect out to approx 70 yards?
How does this compare with modern bolt action rifles at the same distance?
I haven't shot .22lr for a long time, usually leaving the rabbiting to a couple of the beaters that help me out, but the new
landowner has asked that I do this new bit personally. (Isn't it nice to feel wanted!)
Any help from experienced users is much appreciated.

Very nice looking pup there D.
Glad to see you got sorted, it'll be nice to see a fresh face in the beating line.

some silly cow who has nothing better to do in her life (Jdae Goody, Paris Hilton - ect.ect.ect)
Fortunately for her she had the foresight do do something with the short life that she had left, she earned lots of money, so what?
She certainly didn't do it for herself, knowing that she was dying, which shows a distinct lack of selfishness.
I say good on her for looking out for her kids.
If you don't like what she's done/doing then don't read the newspapers or watch the TV shows.

Case wall thickness will also cause uneven growth. Turning the your necks may help but it's probably not worth it.
I've run standard Lapua cases and neck turned Lapua cases through my .243 with no appreciable difference in acccuracy.

Kevo,
A pal of mine is just selling an absolute cracker customised 10/22!
He's based in Daventry, if you're interested in speaking to him PM me your contact details
and I'll pass them on to him.

I agree, all my dogs heel on my left, as I carry my shotgun over my right arm.
However, I think the recognised 'safe' way, for dogs not used in the hunting field, is to heel the dog on your right,
then when you are walking on the right hand side of the road (facing oncoming traffic) the dog is not heeling in the road.

Ant, sell your Hornet first and then apply for the 1 for 1.
Remember to do the same also for the sound mod if you have one for the Hornet.

just looked on youtube there someone on there shooting a can at 300 meters check it out
Big difference between shooting a can and shooting at a rabbit at 300yds.........a gut shot can won't feel it at all!

If you're looking to shoot the larger deer species like Fallow and Red then my personal caliber
of choice is .260Rem, but you need to homeload to make the best of this caliber.
I've been shooting this caliber for the past season and it really is the business!
If you don't homeload I would choose 6.5x55.
If you're looking to shoot only the smaller deer species, up to and including Roe, then I would
absolutley go for .243Win, in my opinion the most versatile caliber out there.....

Phil,
I am looking to join Oundle at the moment and yes you have to be introduced by
a member.
I'll let you know how strict that rule is when I've been for a look around next week.

I can guess the type of people that take part in it.
Rather a silly statement there chummy, I would very much like to know what type of person you guess I am!!!

How big is his crate Mike?
As a rule of thumb dogs hate to soil their sleeping quarters, so making the crate space smaller may help.

On my first driven game shoot, the ducks had gone over once at reasonable height and after that they were just circling us at about 70-100m up, 'knowing' they were out of range. I took 2 shots using #3 steel at 4 flying in a diamond and hit the tail-gunner, he dropped like a stone
Wow......is your name Aled by any chance??
:hmm: -
my gripe is that the hunt are still carrying on as they where before
And isn't it just brilliant to see them doing so !!!
-
Fantastic
-
I stand corrected!!!
My FAC just came back from variation and I have a slot for a 6.5.
Having said that this particular 6.5 is a new Wildcat so maybe I got the 6.5 because it didn't fit any other description?
It is best to do as Manc-munsters suggests and ask the advice of your own FEO.
-
if you have the slot for .243 then you can get it as the caliber is the same its just the case that is different
they use short cases in the wssm as oposed to the standard .243 winchester case
hope this helps
I think you're wrong here.
You must have the correct caliber noted on your FAC. i.e .243Win, .243AI, .243WSSM in order to purchase said caliber.

Tell your friend to get himself a GWP and stop wasting his time with a GSP.Yep !!!
I am with deeksy (deeksofdoom) on this one!
I most definitely disagree with both of you.....but then I would say that because I own and work GSP's.........

Very simple....
Slice breast in half, stuff with medium strength Blue Stilton, wrap in thin streaky bacon.
Cook in centre of oven 190 degrees for 20/25 minutes. (Be carefull not to overcook or it will dry out)
Serve with roast veggies.

I agree with Fister, Viht N140 is the way to go if you can get hold of some.

Speak to Chris at Anglo Custom Rifles. He's now working on my third rifle and I can highly recommend him.
The current one is a rebarrelling job on a custom rifle that was initially done by another gunsmith....
I know they are having their website re-done but here's the link to the old holding page:-

Although I have never met LB personally, I have read with interest his posts on running dogs and gundogs over the past 5 or 6 years that
I've been a member of this forum, I think I can honestly say LB is a true 'dogman'.
I am sure he will have given this situation many hours of heartbreaking thought before coming to the
decision that is right for the dog.
After having a similar situation with my lurcher bitch last year I think I know what he is going through.
Sorry to hear about this LB, remember the good times.

CZ 452 American 16" Varmint barrel, Sound mod and Brookes trigger kit fitted.
Nikko Sterling Platinum 4-16 x 50 'scope.
Stoney Point Polecat quick release bipod and spare adaptor.
Cleaning kit (Rod, brush, jag)
Boresnake
100 rounds ammo
This rifle and everything with it is in excellent condition, having shot approx 300 rounds only.
I have decided to sell this kit as I simply don't use it enough and need the cabinet space
for a new Wildcat project that I'm working on.
I am asking £350 for the package. Face to face preferred, but RFD to RFD can be arranged if required.

Personally I think it is a very overestimated round, and shooting at foxes at 160 yards just proves it.
The .17HMR round was not developed to shoot foxes at 160 yards, or even 120 yards.
