Thanks guys

Well guys just a quick up date after a bit of advice from basc and a second e,mail and call from the licence manger they have agreed to add AOLQ to my certificate it,turns out the admi staff that spoke with me had got a little confused with what I was asking for,happy days
-
Thanks for all the input guys ,sent a email to basc so will have to wait and see ,certificate says fox control only ,also got zeroing on but we would all be stuck with out that one
-
on my first email I asked them for vermin and ground game and explained about the rabbit problem.They then phoned me and told me my 223 was too powerfull and a 22 would be better,which yes it would be but I am not in a postion to get one yet .Deer was not brought up at all ,yes I am a basc member will speak to them soon.

Hi guys Asked the licensing dept for aolq to be added to my licence and was refused it ,I have a 223 at the moment for fox control but have noticed a increase in the rabbit population so I asked for it to be added and was told the 223 is two powerfull ,now I don't belive in the overkill thing if the shot is taken and its safe ie solid back stops ,no chance of ricochet then I don,t see the problem job done. what are your thoughts on this.

Hi guys after advice, thoughts,experience,good or bad on the above package. Looks to be a good budget gun and scope for foxes at a good price

Torn between 223 and 243 .243 as there is deer on the land and may regret not getting it at a late date but 223 is a caliber i have a experience with. well 5.56 i have experience off.

Thanks for the quick replys, hope i have not opend a can of worms on me second post . The land is cleared up to 243 and the foxes are causing the farmer a lot of problems. They are well out of shotgun range each time i spot them and their are lots of backstops on the land so it the only way forward, but if some one could explain the ammo types pros and cons that would be good thanks

Hi guys could some one explain centre fire ammo types and what they all do and the pros and cons of each. I am in the process of applying for my fac and am looking at a 223 or 243 for fox control and want to no whats best and what to put down for ammo type on the form. Being a ex soldier ball tracer and blank (not much use for that) are what i am use too. I am under the impression expanding rounds are the best for the job as they fragment on impact to make a quick kill and as they fragment this prevent ricochets. thanks all in advance
