    As stated he will be a creature of habit, if your not sure what time hes comming, tie some bait to some fishing line,and attach the other end to the battery on a cheapo alarm clock,which obviously has to be secured,fox takes bait alarm clock stops,thats your rough guide to what time hes out and about,dont waste your time on a trap mate,just put in a bit of time and you WILL get him, good luck pal.

    Mate dont do it,hmr are ok until you get a puff of wind get a .22 wmr ,either semi or bolt, far far better than hmr ,and here is why, more power,bigger bullet much less affected by the wind,and you can have a semiauto, oh and they are quieter than the horrid whiplash crack of the hmr, sorry hmr users but I think they are so overated.

    The swift and the .22-250 are more powerful than .223 obviously, I know a guy with a swift hes had for 20 years same barrel,and it shoots .50 inch groups with handloads at 200 yds, it is a fallacy that the swift is hard on tubes, no harder than a .22-250 in fact,lets face it they fire the same bullet,at very similar loads, in fact the .22-250 can be stoked up to very slightly exeed swift velocity,the only reason I would choose a .22-250 over a swift is availibility of factory brass but it is one hell of a fox or small deer round,assuming your ground is passed for it why not a .243, legal for

    Very nicely copied mate, word perfect, spot on.

    Hi Phill According to youtube the most reliable semi in .22 is the Sig 522. Although I have no experience of it, it has had some rave reviews. here is one such review http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3ilpMzqDq4 regards Andrew What a knob he would look with that.

    Hahahaha

    Ok mate firstly .222 are a good,very very accurate round(better than .223 in my opinion) without stretching things too much foxes 250 yds to be realistic,although Im sure they have been taken further, Roe, Muntjac, cwd, I would keep to 200 as an absolute max for deer,preferebly 150 yds, but with good shot placement a.222 is a very good small deer calibre, and really shines when reloaded, Sierra make a superb 55gn prohunter which would be my first choice if rolling your own, you will probably struggle to find factory ammo that has a deer bullet as apposed to a varmint bullet,that said Hornady v

    Howa everytime mate, no comparison at all.

    Or just buy a cree led torch from china for around 15 quid, either make or buy a scope mount,forget batteries,wires and all that crap,carry a couple of spare 18650 rechargables in your pocket, job done.

    Ruger 10/22 are a good choice mate, 10 round mag, if you can find one that has been breathed on so to speak, IE. hogue stock free floating the barrel,and either a change of trigger or a trigger job, (standard triggers are awefull) keep the rotary mag clean and it will give trouble free service, or if you fancy something really special, try rimfire magic in south yorks, they build some stunning ones, carbon fibre barrels ect, have fun mate.

    ANTI,ANTI,ANTI,bye bye.

    Good man spot on write up dude.
  14. charlie caller
    +1 ON THAT
  15. charlie caller
    I have wondered that myself mate, you are correct in the states they do seem to like pistol primers, personally only ever used sr primers myself, so would love to hear others results.
  16. charlie caller
    Well done Les, nice one, now hes tried inland goose flighting he can experience the delights of coastal wildfowling, and see if its to his liking.
  17. charlie caller
    +1 on the Nikon prostaff, first class optics for the money, way way better than an MTC viper especialy in low light, which to be fair is when you will be shooting most bof your foxes, I have both scopes and the Nikon is far superior,165 quid at the mo from optics warehouse

    If you want an accurate load stick with the balance scales mate, I would not trust a 30 quid set of scales for sure, even the very expensive ones wont be as accurate as balance scales.

    If you wish to join a wildfowling club, a good start would be to ask BASC for its wildfowling permit scheme booklet,that way you can sample the delights without the outlay(in case its not for you) an experienced member will take you out band with a bit of luck, get you under a duck or two, the Humber or the Wash type of area would be the best bet for you I should think mate, my own club Gedney Drove end Wildfowlers shoot from the river Nene to Shep Whites, prob about 9 miles of foreshore, they are in BASC permit scheme and provided you are in BASC (a must for all clubs) then a day ticket is on

    Did he say why the cases were splitting? Wasn't the problem of the hmr cases splitting, put down to the fact that the necks have to be cold formed after the priming compound is inserted? If so then, the hornet being centrefire, should be able to have the neck formed normally. Will speak to him again,apparently a Hornady problem ?????
  21. charlie caller
    Yes and then we can start an entirely new thread on .17 hornet cases splitting, to run alongside the hmr, apparently according to an aquaintance from over the pond, who happens to be a gunsmith ,around 20% of them are splitting, here we go again.
  22. charlie caller
    good start mate, get plucking
  23. charlie caller
    It does not matter where he looks for them, he has no permission,no fac, and by the sounds of it not a jot of experience so it really is rather academic is it not?
  24. charlie caller
    Yes mate a Benelli,the best without doubt,there are some good ones around to be fair but for ultra reliability,the inertia system cannot be beaten,I have an m1 and have ownwd it for 7 years now and it has NEVER jammed once.
  25. charlie caller
    Yes we do mate, and I also think they are very good, I have shot lots of duck and geese with them, as good as lead really.
