Are .17HMR accepted for fox shooting in your area by your FAD

Hope not then that gives Meganelliot good cause for the 223 

Well on the basc website it says they prefer you using any .22 centerfire for foxes 🦊 

i dont mean to sound stupid, i know how to shoot i know about the guns, but im still learning, ive always had air rifles but since ive been out using the .220 swift, i want to get into my own rifles now, but im new to all that, and i just wanted to know certain things. Thanks for all your advice 😁

You may find that your local firearms dept. will put their own limit on how many bullets you can pocess at any one time for each calibre

400  .223 maybe too high  That's alot of charlies on a 100 acre 

Your right about the HMR and foxes  I was told by a mate not to mention shooting fox with HMR as they do'nt like it and may refuse it

Sure enough while talking to my FAO on his visit about the HMR He subtely mentioned shooting fox with them ( a trick opener ) straight away i told him that's what the .223 is for

Just a heads up for you

Just put it on the application as you have a good reason for the calibre and it sounds like the land is cleared. Like someone else metioned put in for a moderator, not sure on ammo amount as I only shoot at a club. 

Ive put 500 bullets for the 17hmr and 400 for the .223, i could easily use 30-40 just zeroing it in. And if im out on the rabbits 🐇 i could use a fair amount. But hopefully if i get the .223 i will make my own bullets.

Was he shooting on an open certificate? 

 

No, the police had to go out there and look at the land. I just don’t understand why the blokes in the gun shops are telling me not to bother? Wether its because im a girl? God knows😂 its just basc don’t recommend you shoot foxes with a 17hmr they prefer you to use a higher caliber so thats what im doing. I dont see an issue with it, but the blokes do? 🤔

Has the land you got permission on been passed for any other rifle if so no problem unless it's only rated up to .22RF as been said if dont put on the form you won't know

Well my uncle had been shooting on that land previously and that land had been passed for a 220 swift,

Ok, thanks. 

Im hoping i get it🤞🏼

[FAC form advice]

All the people who work in the gun shops are telling me not to bother putting it down because i wont get it? But my reason is shooting foxes, i have permission to shoot on over 100acres of land, and ive had previous experience in shooting a higher caliber round. 🤔 

[FAC form advice]

Ive been getting help filling out my fire arms form and im putting down for a 17 hmr and a .223, but everyone is telling me that i wont be granted a .223 even though i have “good reason” for wanting one? I specifically want to shoot rabbits with the 17hmr and i want the .223 for foxes as they prefer you to use certain caliber rifles to do it with? Ive got previous experience with my uncle who has a 220 swift. So surely why am i being told that i wont get one?
