team tractor Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Today I had some more land passed to which they said anything upto .22 hornet . I've got .223 on ticket which she said is covered but my question is Can someone list the sizes in order please in 22 cf only I've only bother with .222 and .223 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert 888 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) all .22 c/f bullets are .224" diameter and vary in weights from 24grain-90grain. 22c/f listed in order from hornady book .22hornet .222 .223 5.56nato 22-250 .220swift I would recheck what the land is cleared for as the hornet and .223 are very different rounds, just same diameter bullet. I am no expert and my info could be wrong. Edited April 17, 2013 by Albert 888 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team tractor Posted April 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I'm a bit annoyed again now . They said cleared for .22 hornet but I told her I've got .223 on ticket to which she said that's ok as its .22 c/f . Good job I've yet to buy . Maybe I'll ask for it in writing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert 888 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I think the feo's tend to make things up. I had a load of carp when I got land checked. I'm a bit annoyed again now . They said cleared for .22 hornet but I told her I've got .223 on ticket to which she said that's ok as its .22 c/f .Good job I've yet to buy .Maybe I'll ask for it in writing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delburt0 Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Today I had some more land passed to which they said anything upto .22 hornet . I've got .223 on ticket which she said is covered but my question is Can someone list the sizes in order please in 22 cf only I've only bother with .222 and .223 the hornet round is smaller than the 223 so if you are only covered upto 22 hornet how can she she you can shoot a 223 round :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) If it's only cleared for up to .22 Hornet then I can't for the life of me see how the FEO can say that using a .223 is OK on it without reassessing the land and upgrading the "suitability" of the land? Am I missing something, or is it the FEO who is missing something - Like maybe a bit of knowledge about calibres and firearms??? I would very much like to see something in writing from this FEO confirming what she has said! Edited April 18, 2013 by Frenchieboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 I'm a bit annoyed again now . They said cleared for .22 hornet but I told her I've got .223 on ticket to which she said that's ok as its .22 c/f . Good job I've yet to buy . Maybe I'll ask for it in writing A .22Hornet isn't a .223, why isn't it cleared up to 22-250/Swift if they are all the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 204 is 20cal 22wmr is a rimfire By way of size the .22WMR bullet is also a .224, same as the centrefires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team tractor Posted April 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 It's not my feo but the people back in the office . Staffordshire had to ask warwickshire to check the land and it took 2 months . Shame they won't let me hmr fox as I'd of been covered :( As said already I'm going to ask for confirmation in writing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie g Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) they pass land up to biggest calibre round here. it saves them going back in a months time if you go for a bigger calibre. but if for instant it says passed for upto 22cf then that's any 22cf.

al4x Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 and if they passed for .22 hornet then its not cleared for you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team tractor Posted April 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 and if they passed for .22 hornet then its not cleared for you, I know that but that's why I just double checked on order of size . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 yup size is an interesting word though as most of the .22cf's fire the same size bullet just with massively differing levels of energy. It all sounds like an admin cock up and if a specific .22cf was mentioned odds are they asked them to check it for the wrong one. E-mail them and say you understand the land has had its visit and clarify whether it is now cleared for your .223 then you have it on paper one way or the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theosmith Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 By way of size the .22WMR bullet is also a .224, same as the centrefires. its not a centre fire tho, he asked cf only if cleared for only 22 hornet id rather get a 17cf of some sort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodo123 Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Always wondered why they bother giving set calibres, what's the difference between a accident with .22 compared to bigger rounds? How much more leeway can land give you in that situation? If a .22 round can travel say a mile and a 223 can travel say 2 then do they base it on no properties around that perimeter?. I understand using angle of land for backstops but what if it's flat? Might be sounding stupid but how are these results based? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theosmith Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 i have a piece of land which is 100m x 150m and is cleared 17hmr only i have another piece smaller than this cleared to 270 and is less safe , but not unsafe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
