I'd still go .243 if your FEO is suggesting .303 you would have to question his knowledge but if you really have to go bigger the 25-06 launches an 85gr bullet at 3600fps with a 200yd zero it drops just 5" @ 300 yds and just 15" at 400yds or maybe a 300rum 110gr at 4100fps stops foxy properly

.303

Yeah I'm quite well aware any calibre has the possibility of passing through and I fully endorse your statement that if you don't have a safe backstop you don't shoot period. As for relative meat damage, I can't comment as I don't shoot deer. I only know what decision my mate took as to .243 vs .30-06 and why. I'm presuming with .243 it's down to Hornady tips whereas with larger calibres they often FJSP or SJSP. Yep Dan, I'm quite well aware that .243 is capable of killing any deer. However, there is a fair bit of opinion to say that for the very largest species, you're better

I would like to see Alsone tell some of the Scottish stalkers I know that the .243 isn't enough gun he would be laughed back to the southern counties

Mate I cannot agree with your statement I use my 25 06 lamping even used to take my 300 rum out they are just fine because I make damned sure I know what I'm shooting at. If you can't see behind that target you shouldn't be pulling the trigger no matter the calibre

you won't be disappointed

Strange isn't it he did the same again today ran to the herd then tried to hide among them, the cows though took less interest and didn't lick him

Bring your own bloody rifle next time I think you jinxed mine bloody mag wound down and cartridges all stuck together in the magazine wish I'd of had the "ultimate foxdropper" with me High seat this afternoon for that charlie we saw and sit up tonight at the shepherds for the one on the boundary

The wildcat cub is smaller lighter and made of delrin it is not anywhere near as quiet as a sak though if you want short with good noise reduction one of the over barrel mods would fit the bill

Gamekeeper mate so on the books as a-posed to per job does mean I get to spend all day every day with a gun to hand though At £20 a fox sounds like your doing well
-
Lol ultimate fox dropper as I said for informal practice then privi is good enough would I shoot fox with it we'll if it grouped well and some guns group very well with it then why not but if you want a real 300yd fox dropper then the .223 ain't never gonna cut it ---////////223 ant gunner cut it? @300 yards that one of the most stupidest statements I herd my mate can pole ax rabbits within a 500 yards with a 75grain amax to buck the wind ,,I can shoot comfortabl out 350/380 a fox ant gunner be no more dead from a 3oo yard 223 shot than 22-250! 340 yard shot It's just simplly learning the tr

If where talking informal practice then privi is plenty good enough and at £50 per 100 for hornet, .222 or .223 it aint going to break the bank http://www.henrykrank.com/index.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=16&sort=20a&page=1

I can't tell any describable difference between my .223 or .222 both with jet z cqb mods but I would have said my mates .22 hornet was a little quieter it's hard to tell really.

? Bit of an oxymoron there. The media means everyone who has an input to what we get to read or shoved down our throats every day. There is no disputing the fact that the media has a great influence on the way the people of this country think. And yes, I agree with you that it is controlled by decisions that are for betterment of some to the cost to others. The media as a whole is not impartial, and is agenda driven. If we just take the hunting ban as an example. The only people who have a moral right to be against the killing of animals are vegetarians and vegans. Any person who eat

Bet it's more I'm currently getting £1.50perlb collected for roe and that stands the same for the fallow when they come back in

It is a shame he lies though like making out he was the youngest Brit to scale Everest when that was not true (And since a 13 year old child has just managed it is it really that hard?) like claiming he flew over Everest when he didn't. IMHO real hero's, real men for that do not need to lie or embellish or steal others achievements to gain adulation. He's no hero that's for sure and as Ideation like you have said there is that bullshit side of him that sours the obvious grit he has. You want to talk about real amazing and inspirational people... well for me that's old and bold S

There is no such thing as a black Englishman, English is an ethnic identity, black British yes, but English NOOO, no trying to ridicule you Pesky, just pointing out a fact mate. Absolutely I am British and my ethnic group is English very different to the lad in the local petrol station who is British but his ethnic group is Pakistani or the guy in or local takeaway who is British but his ethnic group is Indian, Being born in England does not automatically make you English just like a dog born in a stable it is not a horse.
