    I like Eley subs best of all although i've used a lot of other makes too. The RWS Z Lang is a low powered target round really. I think from memory it's 29g roundhead (not hollowpoint) that does about 45ftlbs it's an LR as opposed to a short. Very good on squirrels.

    Another vote for Hausken.

    The .204 ruger it a first class round for fox. Picture of the splash? Whatever does that mean? So he/she didn't hit the target square on and the bullet was deflected? What are you saying. Educate me please. The .204 ruger has a BIG following, so don't piss off the likes of me and other folk who use it You don't happen to like it because you've never tried that hard with it have you? Be honest? You know the lot don't you sir?

    Very very nice mole trapper. Does it shoot as good as it looks?

    Fed up to the back teeth of our professional bodies making hay and cash cows out of their members. There is no justifiable reason for this given the statement by Deker: " I have never found or heard of any problem in the UK with anyone in any situation causing issues or experiencing problems dealing with Boar ". What is their reasoning?

    Remington generally crap, but I shot a load of vermin with their low power cbee round.

    Sorry to hear to you having such frustrating issues RFB. I've had my Annie .17hmr for near on 7 years now. Bitch of a round / gun to start with. Cleaned it, scrubbed the barrel, shot it with and without a silencer. Used all types of ammo blah blah. Then after 300 rounds or so it settled down in to something very good indeed ! I bought a brick of 500 hornady and have never had a split case. I check them in and out. Don't ask me why but it's no good swapping and changing ammo with the .17hmr just my opinion. I don't clean mine very often, maybe every 250 rounds or so and the

    Makes my .204 ruger look like a pea shooter!

    All very logical UD thanks for your reply. I haven't tried WMR but like HMR a lot!

    Plump fat Squizzers there UD. I know you're a fan of the .22WMR but what makes it better than the .17HMR ?
  11. Brickhill
    You've got this one right Deker !

    These 'splash' issues? What are they all about? There doesn't seem to be a concensus on here they exist. Or have I got that one wrong? For my money .204 ruger using factory ammo has to be the pinnacle vermin round in GB.

    ??? Get your shit together. Posh guns , we need decent pics reviews and upright pics.

    Looks so much like my Sako . My neck is craned to f**k.

    I’ve tried the the Hornady superformance 40g and they are great up 100 yards but unquestionably the best factory round is is 32g superformance. Ive also put a box of Remington 32g through the gun. Paid £27.50 for 20 They weren’t as good as the Hornady 32g at £20.70 a box so the Remingtons got knocked out. I might get round to reloading at some point now I have some time on my hands. The 39g blitzcreig bullet seems popular with .204 shooters but I’m seriously impressed with the factory stuff which does near on 4000 ft ps at the muzzle. Flat shooting and deadly. Get one you’d love it.

    I haven't had the Tikka out for a while. Now the fields have been cut i'll be out and about after Mr Fox. Zeroing session today. Two loseners, then down on it. Picked a solid backstop which measured 167 yards. I got 8 within a golfball with factory ammo. That will do. Any other .204 ruger boys on here? I love this round !!
  17. Brickhill
    Can anyone really see the WSM coming to the UK? The .17 hornet seems like a better option or go the full hog and go .204 Ruger .
  18. Brickhill
    Nice going RFB !

    Good chucks ‘em out a country mile. I’ve had it near on six years and it’s never missed a beat. The only thing I would say is that the bolt is noisier to work than my Sako .22 LR.
  20. Brickhill
    Here's my bunny basher in the same flavour. Great gun !
  21. Brickhill
    Lovely. The more i read about your trips out the more sense you talk. Keep it simple, it's the best way.
  22. Brickhill
    Good shooting RFB
  23. Brickhill
    You’ve certainly destroyed that target holder. Your Annie looks like mine but it hates CBS.
  24. Brickhill
    Nice looking rapid there. What spec is it out of interest? e.g. .22? FAC?
  25. Brickhill
    They are a target round i.e not hollow points. They are a .22 LR case. I had a bit of trouble feeding them in my Annie but they work flawlessly in my Sako Varmint 2. They do about 40ft pounds energy wise. Lovely round for squirrel, feral pigeon and ratty in certain circumstances.
