gixer1 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Can anyone type a list of the calibers of the commonly used uk rifles in order from smallest to largest and also what game they would be used for, i hear alot of different calibers talked about on here and alot of people asking, can i use X rifle for X species and it might be a good reference guide if you were applying for an FAC when adding in possible rifles. E.G - .22LR - rabbits, Vermin. .17 HMR - above plus Foxes. 222 223 243 etc, etc...... Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 The Home Office Guidance (in the Sticky section) lists the mainstream calibres and what the Police deem to be appropriate uses for those calibres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 You will also need to factor in the 'postcode lottery' factor, i.e. some areas will allow .22 rimfire for foxes and others won't, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixer1 Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I can only really see .22 and 243 mentioned, am i looking in the wrong place? If someone can put a list up i'd appreciate it. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 If you aren't looking at Page 77 you are looking in the wrong place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixer1 Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Stuart, Page 77 shows "Good Reasons to posses" but not a list of calibers, am i in the wrong form, Chapter 13 i think it's in. I am looking basically for a list of calibers from small to lagest commonly available and used in the UK. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Look at the table shown on page 82 of the Guidance Notes pinned. I have just checked, and the list is all there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
