wymberley Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Could well be time for your shooting organisation to earn its crust. What did you give for the reason? Edited March 18, 2015 by wymberley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul T Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I assume you want the.243 for deer as the 22-250 is a great foxing round? As long as you can justify the need for that calibre and shots can be made safely, then the area of ground shouldn't come into it (within reason of course). I know someone who wasn't allowed .308 as it was deemed too powerful for the roe and fox on his land - .243 was the limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
