charlie caller 3,654 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 YES weatherby do a .240 magnum cartridge, but the reason for the minimum .240 rule is that when introduced,people were stalking with h&h .240 you still see them for sale now and then and I think they still build them,you can certainly still get the ammo,but as few people can afford a h&h rifle .243 has become the min calibre by default,and what a spiffing job it does CHARLIE CALLER.

mal mason 7 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 You know i just caught up with this thread and i find it really unbelievable that some one who the police find very reliable to own a gun and then he turns out to be such a f***ing idiot, i have been shooting for over 25yrs and only just got my fac and received a cz rimfire and am very happy shooting rabbit on my permission, surely if this guy is shooting what he says he is then why did he not apply for the guns he needed first. He obviously dosn't give a fook about the safty of people and the humane killing of animals, wish i knew who he was could take a few lads down, give the twat a good hiding then shop him, we dont need people like him giving us a bad name its hard enough getting land to shoot on without retards like him.

Like your guns do you??? An attitude like that will soon see you lose the certificate You can lose your certificates for a minor indesrcetion with the police these days so maybe think before you and the lads go out Quote Link to post
njc110381 0 Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 My suggestion would be to talk to the land owner but not involve the FEO. I'm really not sure what you can do at this stage but you really do need to find out whether this guy is just talking crap or whether he is actually shooting the Deer with his HMR. If you find that he is taking the Deer with his rimfire then you need evidence. I would assume that he would be head shooting them, so if possible you need to get hold of the head. Maybe even ask him if he will let you have one to work on and mount next time he gets one. If you can do that you're home and dry. A head with a HMR bullet in is great evidence. I'm not sure how far the police would be prepared to go with this but forensics could link the bullet fragments to his rifle if necessary. I wouldn't jump in the deep end and start shouting. With no evidence the police can do very little but he will know you've dropped him in it. That's not an ideal situation to be in. The best you can do at this stage is have him removed from the land if you don't think you'll get any evidence of his actions. Quote Link to post
