    Usually it's from a hole in any part of the respiratory system can be caused by shot puncturing the lung or trachea but any trauma would do it nothing would prevent it its just one of those things

    Ohh ok there statement is wrong they just made it up! Dan simple fact is once you have the experience and we both know you don't you will realise that the caliber of gun you use is irrelevant no one is the best you can claim it's awesome and Alsone can post YouTube vids but those of use that get out there and put foxy to sleep every day can see it for what it is.the 250 has its place 300yds +it has an advantage over the .223 but sub 300 nah it's all snot and nonsense is it the best over 300yd gun no way so where does that leave us well it's a compromise as all calibres are is it the best for f

    Factory or reload makes no difference the data speaks volumes as does hornadys statement on their website that their .223 53gr super performance Matches a 250 Quote from website- 223 Remington at 3,465 feet per second pushing 53 gr V-MAX bullet that has been optimized for peak performance from the 223 Remington chamber. This new bullet boasts an amazing .290 BC that enables this load to produce trajectory and wind drift equaling that of a conventional 22-250!

    So Dan I have hornadys reloading book here using there maximum loads If zeroed at 200yds .223 40gr 3800fps .22-250 40gr 4100fps @ 300 yds the difference in drop is 0.9" .223 50gr 3400fps .22-250 50gr 3800 fps @ 300yds the difference in drop is 1.5" To gain these small advantages means burning at least 10grs of powder or to be precise some 50% more than the .223 in the real world there is no advantage over the .223 at low range With the .223 recoil is minimal noise is minimised and barrel wear is negligible and as is demonstrated only marginally lacking in ability
  6. danw
    Quite simply any advantage a 250 may have is outweighed by the increase in noise recoil barrel wear and ammunition cost anyone who has real world experience knows that the majority of fox are shot sub 250 yds so any ballistic advantage is minimal but then if your only experience comes from looking on the internet I guess the 250 looks impressive

    only lads I would even consider now are from keeping family's I gaurentee there will be kids on that course haven't beat a day let alone out else and they want a job keepering lol makes me laugh some of the muppets colleges take in these courses ask any lad from sparsholt how many in there class made keepers and the usual answer is about three fact is they weren't no good for f**k all else so stick them on a keepering course to make up the numbers.

    Bet within a week you regret taking one on I've had 3 f**k me NEVER EVER again can't trust them to do f**k all got to hold there hand for everything so might as well do it myself be done faster and correctly no so bad when you have under keepers you can palm them off onto but singlehanded HELL NO ain't time to think for myself let alone some hanger on

    This should be interesting alsone given born hunter is a physicist I would be shocked if he needed lessons in ballistics from you

    Fixed that for you What you need to understand Dan, mate, is that I'm taking notes on the other thread ready for my trip down to Dorset very soon. It'll be lush. LOLZ
  11. danw
    Fixed that for you ??
  12. danw
    Folks that say "what you need to understand"aye I understand well enough your talking bollocks
  13. danw
    People that use the word "lush" and aren't talking about grass complete f***ing nobbers

    No the egg colour makes no difference and as a generalisation blue pheasant eggs don't hatch.

    It's an picture posting social network type app you download. You 'follow' people and any pictures they post are shown in your feed. Loads of Hunting and shooting from all over the world. Keepers, deer managers, African PHs, Alaskan trappers, professional bow hunters etc etc. f**k sake, I'm gonna get rinsed for this now aren't I..... Ahh like pictures of folks doing a handstand???
  16. danw
    So what does that tell you about this site? People value pictures in the thread, it adds to the experience! What have I learnt from seeing 100 rabbits hanging on a five bar gate........ that the fecker hanging them at 4am has more patience than I do at that time in the morning! LOL. What does it matter what I have learnt though? Do I learn anything when I read a fantasy book or flick through my feed on instagram? Probably little of significance. It's not the point, we come on these sites to share our exploits and read of others. Your above statement is testament to that. Learning a new tec

    Don't understand why folks would want to hide what we do unless they feel they can't justify it ? Wonder why mainstream telly are happy to show leg holds and I wonder on the program mountain men how they Martin die hanging four foot up in the air by one leg?

    Please don't think I single out Alsone I can assure you I'm more than happy to be obnoxious,condescending,pedantic and down right rude to anyone of you on here.Dan doesn't discriminate. He's equally mean to his beaters, his boss, his boss' Guns and even his poor inanimate partridge feeders. He's a well rounded keeper... Lol I see being a miserable argumentative c**t as a perk of the job

    Alsone not wishing to take the thread off topic but where do you think waitrose et Al find lead shot free game ahh yes from farmed pheasants you really should make assumptions about subjects you clearly have no knowledge of. The farming of game birds for the table ( note table not release) is a huge international business

    No such a good back stop

    That's a bit of a generalisation since only the CF varmint calibres tend to explosively fragment. I've shot plenty of .22 RF and I've said previosuly in numerous threads I don't like it from a safety POV because of it's tendancy to richochet. The reason why it ricochets is because of it's expansion rather than fragmentation as seen in most varmint calibres. Most larger game rounds are jacketed / semi-jacketed to control expansion and don't fragment either. Any round that expands not fragments is going to be more prone to ricochet than one that disintegrates on impact, quite simply beca

    I must be lucky or else not very tasty in all these years working with deer and keepering I've only ever had 3 actually dig in had plenty of keds on me not Being bit though makes me creep thinking about the little fuckers we do have a lot of tick mops though so maybe that's why

    From the little I know about big game, (about everything I've written here!), .308 is on the light side. .338 lapua or .375 mag much more suited to bear. Problem with these is both are severe overkill on deer and likely to pass through and then some, so only answer might be to get the .308 and borrow a rifle for bear shooting when over there. (Cross posted with SS) From reading this it's clear you know little about shooting deer as well The vast majority of deer legal rounds i.e. .243 .308 etc will pass "right through and some"
