good post matt thanks for taking the time.same to everybody whos replyed.im starting to get the feeling that its very much down to personal prefrence just like the old 22 vrs 177 in the air guns im a solid 22 fan when it comes to airguns . keep em coming lads im enjoying being educated.

alot of the land i shoot is very flat so any missed shots would be striking the ground at a very low angle the negitive point i made before about the .17 hmr breaking up easy has now turned into a positive in my mind am i correct ? is it harder to get a ticket for one of these calibers over the other? im not fussed about the round price within reason.
kanny
now this is where im worrid as one conviction did come with a short stay at one of her majestys finest by the magistrates court.. it was 4 months for a common assult however this was overturned after just one week by the crown and i was released by a top judge who was seathing at the magistrates sentence on me as i was obviously acting in self defence the other was drink driving on a moped when i was 16. but thats all never even had a speeding ticket...what do you guys think?? have i blown it?
kanny
i have to agree the more im reading the more the.17hmr is standing out as the leader it seems to be a much safer and versitile round with safe being my main criteria. whats the .17hmr like on noise?
kanny
Thanks lads ive found some good information on wickipedia about these rounds i will look into more over the next couple of weeks and do the pros and cons im not in a rush but hope to be up and running for the stubble late this summer if all goes to plan. im still intrested in what other shooters think so feel free.
kanny
LR WMR HMR HM2 And what would you guys say is best for rabbit? lets say 80yrd think i will be going for a .22 some of my land is rough grass and ive heard that the .17 break up on the slightist brush with veggation is this true?... im going to be asking a few questions over the next weeks so please bare with me lads.
kanny
its more a question of remembering the dates of the convictions for the application form
kanny
just put carnt remenber the exact date and just put the year, there more equiped than you to find the exact date
i guess so.... just want to get things as right as i can.
kanny
ive been giving great thought recently about applying for my fac and sgc i have enough permision to warrant a scud launcher but would only be going for a .22 rimmy and a shotgun. im 40 years old now and time to move up i think... ive read through the application and it all seems pritty straight forward the only problem i have is in the previous convictions. i have 2 minor incedents to my ny name well over 10 years ago problem is i cant remember exact dates is this a problem? can i request a copy of my previous from the local law?
kanny
had it a few times spit rosted over a fire when i was a lad on our summer holiday hunting /camping forays in the local woods it was nice but not as nice as woody done the same way but much better than gudgeon!.. its the only animal that i cant seem to reverse the damage done to my wife by walt disney .

ive been out on the pigeons again today but it was slow going. last week they was flying in 20 plus at a time this week they dribbled in twos n threes drasticly reducing opportunitys. Ended up with 4 in the bag i think the big guns are taking there toll now there of the phesants. however the silverlining was the last shot of the day straight through the spiny and of a telegraph wire in the feild head shot i paced it out at 52 and i aint short. This old s200 just keeps suprising me.
