    Recently on the range a strong cross wind was moving the .17 hmr over about 3"'s .It must've been bad because the .223 was 1.5" off ,this was at 100yds Had I used my anemnometer (which I did'nt take ) I'd have say it 'd be around 15-20mph . If shooting in those conditions your really shooting for out and out pest control .If shooting for the pot with accurate head shots then forget it unless you can get really close .

    Have the same rifle myself .Good choice

    If you don't mind me asking ........What price is import duty nowadays

    Absolute spot on advice .However i would never take a Fox @ 130 yds with a HMR .Certainly alot closer yes but it's no dedicated Fox calibre IMO Each to their own and no offence intended .

    I disagree .If people like to browse this or any other similar forum with the intention of being offended at the result of one of nature's cunning and respected pest being opened up to reveal the devastation it can cause then so be it . get em up

    Interesting thread here I've got a .223 ,my mate has the 22/250 and we both homeload and use the same Hornady 50 grn V-Max bullet .Now I'm on 24.2 grn of N133 in fed brass giving out 3400 FPS and he's on 35grn H414 giving out 3600 FPS .OK 200 ft per second difference but alot more powder to get it there . At the end of the day in capable hands a .223 will match a 22/250 up to 225 Yds which is a long way at night .The question is how many 300yd shot's do you think you'd be taking ? You'd probably need a hotter load as well .I do know that his SAKO 75 could'nt get on with any factory s

    The plastic honeycomb stock is utter sh1te and there is a high possibility that the qd stud will pull out ...........Imagine that Just when your walking across a farmyard as well Other than that there is nothing wrong with a Tikka ,I have the M595 (previous version )

    For a out of the Box in ANY calibre a CZ takes some beating ...Good luck with it .

    If that ain't worth skinning and preserving I don't know what is .....Fine example there fella .well done

    All this talk of long range shooting with an HMR will take alot of experience and practice to be consistant .Not to mention some decent glass and a suitable cross air . My experience with my CZ ,Leup & Remington ammo combo is head shots up to 110yds and after that it's zeroing on the larger body . I have floated the barrel also but 200yds is some shot .........it can be done and conditions have to be ideal but to echo previous comments :HMR is no 200 yd calibre that'll guarentee a high humane kill rate at that range.
  11. dead ive
    Yep ........I had to repair my mates T3 when his stud fell out ........The synthetic stock is'nt the best I have to say .

    You've got me all wrong here Fella....I'm not saying you did'nt acheive that group but this ammo as a solid reputation for being absolutely shite and I'm saying well done . After a box of 20 simply use a copper removal solvent like Butches bore shine and push a bronze brush thru 20 times followed by a Jag and patches . Advisable to use a bore guide as well . PS waldini is on about your Sofa

    I would refrain from putting ANY oil in the bore unless the rifle is'nt to be used for some time and even then I'd use a degreaser or some form of solvent to remove it first .Oil cause excessive pressure in the bore of the rifle . That second group is as good as any homeload .I'm even more amazed that you achived this with Powershok SP Ammo.

    Look at it like this .The Brand name must be protected at all times and can you imagine S & B using inferior glass on their product and still giving the same guarantee's I have the hungarian model .....It's identical and it's S & B's way of introducing the poor man to their excellant products
  15. dead ive
    I might add as well it's also one of the very first to have the silencer over the complete barrel or in other words it's a shrouded barrel with the exhaust ports under the scope

    AA S410 Xtra Fac .22 cal @35 ft lb It's one of the very first made in this version .........Fixed power and no safety catch . A very good tool though
  17. dead ive
    It all depends on what type of shooting you do .For example if your covering a lot of land using a vehicle then a .22lr would be my preference .If your walking about and there are nearby outbuilding's ,farm dogs etc then still it'd be the .22lr because with subsonic ammo they are quieter than most air rfiles . The .17 hmr is the best small varmint calibre out there today but it as quite a bark even when moderated and using this calibre as a first line pest control tool (Quick successive shot's ) in habitated area's will soon draw unwanted attention to yourself . So to summerise .22LR: Si

    Ever thought of becoming a ventriloquist :11: Yep full moon don't make a difference ..........I make sure i don't cast a silohette though
  19. dead ive
    Although not reccommended if you was to stand way to the side and in front of a moderated fullbore they are still very loud Foxdropper and there is a possibility that any dogs barking or lights being switched on as a result of pulling the trigger could still occur .Basically your protecting your own hearing but with a T8 on the end that .222 of yours will be similar to firing to PCP air rifle

    there was a guy sellin one on here last week mate said he was goin for something "a bit more manly" what ever that means ?? nice lookin gun though ! i wouldnt mind one myself ! good luck with yer new toy mate ! happy huntin Ricky He probably means one of these It's the FAC version of the S410

    Foxdropper ........Good shooting What hardware are you using ?........i see your not tempted to put a mod on your rifle or is one pending I know it can be frustrating having a permission overlamped .........One of mine is subject to the so called dog walking brigade with a lightforce and all the diffusers ..........Unlike the above situation these have no right to be on this land and as a result i now shoot on it at the crack of Dawn .
  22. dead ive
    I agree Foxhunter ............You never forget those ones even if you don't get the shot off .I take more pleasure from tracking one fox in a whole night than having several easy opportunities

    Was he ok in the end Old Skool Now metal will absorb energy different to flesh and bone .......Only last night My colleague with his .243 shot a 1/2 grown Fox cub that was facing us around 100yds away ..the entry wound was it's chest centre and there was no exit wound as the whole lenght of it's torso absorbed the energy of the ballistic tip round .........had the shot been side on at this distance with a shoulder entry then it's insides would have been blown out
  24. dead ive
    You don't know me do you Chris Just on every forum you can guarantee a large amount of up and coming shooters wanting to progress from 12 ft Lb to .243 in one easy step ..........Just giving a indication of the difference in power ,nothing more Love to see something go through all 36 mm .......Now I wander what minimum calibre it'll take to do that
  25. dead ive
    Fox control is the easiest out of the lot and with a full bore rifle very little skill is required IMO.However I'll say that can change when you have to get one that's educated and streetwise which in a few weeks time the above were starting to become as they were moving away from the call all the time but not at a stage when they were sprinting away and not looking back at the lamp .I am trying for these elusive corvids especially maggies and would love to get several in one sitting .......Been trying for years now .....Patiance is not a strong point of mine
