BSA HUNTER 0 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 ..and just to be a little more specific on the rules for CWD and Muntjac.. .22 CF Minimum 1000ft lb Minimum 50g Minimum EXPANDING AMMO NOT some but All combined are the Minimum!! ..so some sort of expanding ammo must be used and as Mr logic said, I too have had many instances of using HP on assorted Deer and many have gone clean through and shown little or no sign of expanding through the bullet track...a lot depends on exactly what you do hit upon entry and how far away from the quarry you are! Any particular make / model of ammo you would recommend? Shug Quote Link to post

Any particular make / model of ammo you would recommend? Shug Gday there, Ive just joined up & r keen to give u my advice. I own a BSA HUNTER 222 & have used it off & on over the past 15 or so years on various animals like young tahr,fellow deer does & bucks,red deer hinds & stags & lots of hares & rabbits. On the small game varmints Ive been using Remington 50gr psp with great results BUT for bigger game like deer u should try NORMA 50 or 55gr sp. They hit & penetrate the best of all factory loads. cheers Quote Link to post
nod 285 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 if you are confident enough go for neck shot, no matter what bullet you use they aint going no where. Quote Link to post

RicW 67 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 England and Wales minimum calibre for Red, Sika, Fallow and Roe is .243. Scotland allows .22cf on Roe. England and Wales allows .22cf on Muntjac and CWD, subject to limits as per Deker's post. Quote Link to post
