    Does this happen often? I have to be honest and say that over the years we have only had a handful of litters due to good planning but the litters we have had, have always interacted with us from a very early stage. We will initially check the litter, then leave well alone for a week or more. Our last litter were sucking on meat before their eyes were open We will be having a litter this year, and I can not wait Our Jill is eating a back leg of rabbit everyday now, bone and all. John

    I'd remove them. John

    Yes, I have one on my CZ .22rf and it's top notch. I can spot and shoot rabbits right out to 70 yards with easy. On my .410 I have a Tesco cree torch which to be honest is just as good (£. John

    Check Lilds out, they are selling very good quality digital calipers for £9 John

    Are the Berger bullets .223" or .224"? Could be the problem. John

    The simple answer is yes. John

    Have you: Called the local vets Called the local Animal pound Called the local police station Called the RSPCA Failing everything, leave a few live catch traps out with a broken egg & cod liver oil mixed for bait. We have all had escapees. Out Jill got out two days after we got her, caught her in a live catch trap 2hrs after it was set. If you got dogs, let the dogs have a good sniff, they will normally let you know if the ferret is still active in the garden. John

    Again, I have to ask: I fail to see, other than the thickness of the brass, what makes 7.62 & .308 different at all. If case thickness defines different ammunition, whats happens between Norma cases and Remington cases, would that make Norma ammunition .3081 or 7.621 because the case is thicker than Remington? Please enlighten John

    You wanted to get yourself a nice well handled two year old hob, and gain some confidence. Two hours afterwards, you'll be looking to increase your ferret collection John

    Sorry to hijack the tread. I've been thinking of getting a BP pistol for a while now. Can you use Pyrodex? Is it hard to get a BP certificate? Are the guns fun to shoot or just plain hassle? Any info would be great because the only venture I ever had in to BP guns was a Harrington & Richards muzzle loading shotgun, didn't work out that well to be honest. John

    Well it's not a "leap of assumption", there are people on HERE that buy both .308 and 7.62 Mil ammo. No assumptions about it. When we send our FAC back to the police I am 101% sure they check our ammunition usage and I am sure that if they could find a reason to revoke a persons FAC, they would. RFD's have to keep detailed records (I am presuming you know what happens to your ammo register?). So, as I can never recall anyone having their FAC revoked or their RFD stated revoked due to being in illegal possession of 7.62 when they should only have .308, the conclusion must be that the police are

    Surely the shear fact that the police are willing to do the above shows with no doubt that the rounds are one in the same, after all the police would not agree to let you buy .22H ammunition if you didn't own a .22H rifle or .22rf ammo if you only owned a .22 WMR. Nothing stops a person buy .22rf caps to shoot in their stamped .22LR rifle. If 5.56mm long rifle rim fire ammunition was marketed, surely anyone who could buy .22rf ammunition could buy it? .308 / 7.62mm simply refers to the bore diameter and not the bullet / case / primer /powder / chamber / stock dimensions / sighting devises / m

    From what I could find the MV is 958 meters per second, the source I found was 200 grain bullet (?). Quick load has not ability to alter environmental factors. If we could find out exact MV & bullet weight I could run it through Quick load and come up with a replicated round (powder weight etc.). From there if we knew what range the military snipers zero then I could run the data with multiple BC's to give a very accurate trajectory graph and data. John

    I feed my CZ on Eley subsonic. I found Winchester were giving fliers ever now and then. So far the Eleys ammo has proven top notch. I used to use Winchester T22's not sure if they still make them but that was good ammo. John

    I could run standard load data through Quick Load, which would give a mathematical model of internal chamber pressures (albeit a very accurate one) and see if there is a way to tweak environmental effects and compare both. I'll sort it later for you because this PC is running Windows 7 and my copy of Quick load will not run on this PC, so I'll have to boot up a laptop which I keep for reloading and connecting to my chronograph.

    Tell me about it. I have one area of land where I can shoot across two valleys, total range is just over 1000 yards, even my range finder will not read back. I put a load of balloons out and retired to the other side. Hitting the balloons wasn't what I would call easy. The wind buffeting made for some very ad-hock adjustments. Thermals were another problem. Good fun but if deer learn to shoot back, I'd up grade to a rock launcher if I had to shoot'um at 1000 yards John

    Hey Ric, out of interest I ran some data through Sierra Infinity 5. Based on a MV of 956 mps & 200 grain .338 bullet. At sea level a zero of 1000 yards would give a -2050.82" drop at 2000 yards, -9321.89" drop at 3000 yards At 10,000 ft above sea level : 2000 yards would give -1245.33" drop and 3000 yards would give a -6255.44" drop. Means not a lot but it's interesting to see the difference altitude makes. In comparison if the guy had kept his "at sea level zero" the bullet drop would have been equivalent to him shooting a target at 1800 yards (2000 yards 10,000 ft above

    That's a really good informative link! Thanks. If I'm reading and understanding it correctly, that chap is saying that it's safe to use Mil & Civilian ammo in a civilian rifle but not safe to use civilian ammo in a military rifle because the chambers are longer and civilian brass may not expand to fill the Mil spec chamber, thus the brass will fail or may fail. As said already I have done both with no ill effect but what they guy is saying makes sense. Very interesting indeed, much food for thought. John

    Why-oh-why-oh-why do you have to go on the defensive 100% of the time, did the big boys kick eight shades of $h!te out of you in school or what? I have shot .308 in a 7.62mm Mil rifle with no issues at all. My mate shoots 100's of Mil ammo in his Howa .308 with no issues at all. Both rounds are exactly the same from what I can see, just stated in Imperial and metric terminology. I am hazarding a wild guess that because NATO covers most of Europe, and most of Europe uses metric measurements, that why it's termed as 7.62mm (just a wild guess mind). John

    Hi Liam, Your mate & Boss should be okay. What I always do is to phone the Firearms licensing office before I commit and ask them "is it okay for [such and such] to act as my referee....". The office normally wants to know how I know the referees and what they work as. My advice is do as I do, and just ask the question. If your a member of a club, and want to use any of the firearms at the club (using the club in part to get your FAC) I am sure you will need the clubs secretary to complete one of the referees forms.

    Deker, you and Mr Logic can do what the hell you like. You know and I know you are full of $h!t. I will stand by my post : Interesting, running your suggestion through Quick Load shows that Tom would have to use 49 grains of H414 to produce 3798 fps or 1762 ft-lb using a 55grain Nosler. 51 grains would give a 99.7% case fill of powder, some compressed load Tom would have, but not for long because such a load according to quick load would produce well over safe pressures, so Tom wouldn't have much to worry about at all, not even council tax. I would love to see 51-52 grains. Pry tell, what

    So what happens to a bullet when is it over stabilised, does it become unstabilised? John hey mate i'm not looking to start anything just giving my opinion... And when a bullet becomes overstabilisied, once it reaches the highest point of the flight curve the tip of the bullet should be slighty nose down.... now in an over stabalisied bullet, at this point it tends to be tip facing slightly skyward, and the air flow becomes the problem as the air is flowing faster over one surface than the other, this causes the bullet to loose its stated BC. value, the trajector
