Help with my FAC Application

[topjock]

Hello all,

Just wondered about the differences in how you list ammunition in question 20, on my permission i can shoot Vermin up too foxes, with a .22 which Ammo should i list.

 

Also whats the difference between .17HMR and .22

 

what is the best calibre all round i used to use a .22 previously ?

 

Thanks for your help.

Neil, your question is a tad confusing...

 

You can shoot vermin up to fox with a .22 who said that ?

 

The best all round calibre does not exist as they are all different,some more so than others.

 

I would do a bit more research before you apply for a firearm.

Personally I would ask for x rounds of expanding and x rounds of non expanding (used for checking zero if your asked)

 

I have 1000 to purchase and 1100 to hold on all calibres of ammunition I hold.

 

See if you can get as much as you want first off, saves a lot of time and effort later on. However if your using for vermin control only they may question why you need so much. My FEO was OK with this, he said if I dont use enough it will be reviewed at renewal.

Have a look at the basc site and download the FAC form guidelines. Just had mine granted but not got my licence yet

.22lr should suffice. No need for any other description.

 

As far as caliber choice is concerned, a search of the web will give you all the info you could ever wish to read !!

You realy need some one to take you under there wing, please get some experance and learn about what you need not what you want

 

if you are so unexperanced on what rifle you need for vermin control you realy need to think if it is the correct time to apply for a FAC gain some experance by going shooting with mates and learn before applying the feo might just tie you in knots.

 

Dont take this the wrong way I am not advising that you dont apply just that you gain more experance before you get turned down
