    ....the answer is simple. Tracer 170 . Excellent range, better than Clulite (I have both by the way), beam can be focussed .

    ....get on youtube and check out 'basic reloading' and plenty comes up. 'Ammosmith' and '1967Spud' have great youtube videos I would recommend. See how two or three different people do it, the most important thing I would say is be consistent do things in the same order every time. Just changing one element of the process or equipment can change the consistency of your ammo. I once did 100 rounds of ammo with 50 lapua case and 50 nosler customer brass and the nosler grouped the same but an inch left to the zero!

    I have a Howa 1500 varmint barrel in 22-250 and as far as I am concerned it is excellent value for money. I adjusted the trigger myself and it holds inch groups no problem and has counted for a hundred plus foxes of the last few years.

    All things considered regarding her rein as PM .... whether Tories are in Power or it is Labour in reality very little changes at the end of the day. I believe all politicians set out with the best of intentions but the nature of politics and making any real change takes so long that their job is futile and a thankless task. Regardless of whether people liked her or not they should at least have some respect for the deceased....

    ....how much are you prepared to spend?

    You only get what you pay for and for £30 I wouldn't be expecting to shoot a fox at 100 yards, put it that way. For £30 I would expect to be shooting rabbits at 40 yards tops! Buy cheap and you will always buy twice!

    If you want more info on calibre characteristics and performance of ammuntion/suitability then I highly recommend you have a look at this website : http://www.ballisticstudies.com/Knowledgebase.html

    ......funny how all round the world people were told about the meteorite that was going to miss the earth, however the one that was going to actually hit the earth they decided to keep that under their hat ......reassuring eh

    ....aim a couple of inches high of the centre and even if it drops 4 inches you will still be on target I would guess, it is not that loopy a calibre.

    .....get Robert Bucknells book 'Foxing with Lamp & Rifle' or something like that!

    Set your target up at 50 yards, take your first shot and adjust your windage (if you have 1/4 click then remember to double your clicks - ie if it shoots an inch to the right, at a 100yds that would be 4 clicks, so it will be 8 clicks at 50yds. You should be able to do that in a couple of shots. You can do the same for elevation without moving the target but I prefer to move the target back to 100 yards to do the elevation which should be just a couple of shots .....in theory lol! Cant remember where I heard it but after zeroing it is always worth checking point of impact at a short distan

    It would be doubtful....look at it this way, if you already had your FAC and had then got caught drink driving, would you expect them to let you keep it ...most likely not http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/publications/police/firearms/HO-Firearms-Guidance.pdf?view=Binary ....look at Chapter 12 - FITNESS TO BE ENTRUSTED WITH A FIREARM

    A few questions would help : Are you shooting from a vehicle or on foot most of the time - If shooting from a vehicle a shorter barrel would make things easier but would probably exclude a 22-250 which needs a longer barrel to get the velocities What type of ground do you shoot over ie lowland farm or hill farms - the higher the ground the more likely the wind conditions will be worse which affect the ballistics and heavier wind bucking rounds may be preferred ie .243 Are you shooting on a small budget over small distances - then maybe a small .22hornet would be cost effective.

    The .222 suffers the same limitations as other .22 centerfires when used on medium game. With conventional projectiles including all factory ammunition, the .222 at close to moderate ranges produces a broad wound channel however the broad wound quickly tapers off as energy is lost, within about 5 to 6” of penetration. Beyond this depth, the wound channel tends to be very narrow. For this reason, if using the .222 on medium game, it is very important to try to avoid major shoulder bones so that the broad and shallow wound occurs almost exclusively within vitals. When using the .222 on me

    ...you should see what happens when you put out licorice as bait.
  23. dave1372
    ....is that a yes or no then?

    If you are trying to keep costs down then try something like this I saw : ...how simple is that made out of pallets, and it would be simple enough to add a roof and enclose it.

    Came across these whilst out walking today, just curious as to whether they are edible or not:
