Salop Matt Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Well done Steve. This is exactly what I like about us shooters generally, someone has a problem and there are always people willing to help. I was in a simlar situation 12/18 months ago when I was appling for my first FAC and didnt know what calibre to go for ! Fortunatly shropshire lad (paul) came to my rescue and took me out with both HMR and .22lr. I applied for and got both but started out with a 17hmr and soon after picked up my .22lr ! Am very happy with both and wouldnt be without either unless I needed a dedicated foxing tool ! So as I received a favour I now feel it only right to do my bit and help anyone I can in the same way. So if anyone local to me wanted to see / test both 17hmr and .22lr then I would happily take them out and let them form there own opinion having seen both calibres working !

Ozzy Fudd Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 all comes down to horses for courses, good work helping out steve, and alpha mule im glad you picked the rifle that suited you, not what suits everyone else! i bought my hmr as the place i was shooting last year was mostly 80yd+ shots - thats not down to lack of field craft (i can leopard crawl with the best of them ) it was down to the lie of the land. but this year ive got new places to clear out, and the ranges are a good bit shorter (40yd+), so ive been taking the 22lr out more than the hmr - typical!
