Perfect!
As I will not use many rounds cost isn't such an issue but what do they cost?

Then he needs to buy another gun scope an moderater an a hmr is not really a 200yd tool its cabable at that range but why bother when the 243 is point and shoot and already in his cabinet?About £10 per 50
Hmr sounds perfect for what you want
……..
I could use the .243 more but I am not convinced I can take a crow safely and accurately at 200+ metres, fox at 120 is fine. It's a bit OTT For corvid / brown crow controll too!
So, what sort of money would a respectable HMR cost? I don't need pretty looking things, it's a tool to do a job not get posted on Instagram!
Just use the most accurate itll be dead hahaBut I wanted an excise to buy another gun
This is exactly what bro told me, I was hoping for some valuable ammo D) from TFF to counter bus suggestion..
Ok, so long range shot at a crow with .243..... What round, ballistic tip again? What grain?
Use about 70 - 90 on fox I think and 120 on deer

20 brObviously your existing rifle will be suitable for heaver bullets than you need for crows,
be a shame to wear out such a good barrel just shooting birds.
A 204 or 17 rem will be so much more suitable and save money in the long run

Got a decent range finder and print of some trajectory charts of the internet for helpThanks, everyone for your help.
Tbh I don't much mind spending £500 on a good set up if I think it will work
That said it will only get 100 rounds through it a year at the movement, in a few yrs time when projects are wrapped up that will increase hopefully...
Looks like I will get some more 243 rounds and try the long ranger stuff more. I found the 70 gram worked well, had a trotting fox at about 180 yards one handed (lamp in the other) last harvest which I was chuffed with.
Can always keep missing, blame the gun then upgrade
So if you had to shoot a crow at 200 m with dubious back drops (motorway embankment...!) woukd you pick the .243 or .17 HMR?
How hards reloading a .223 ?Being hard up i bought a 223 , had the free press and dies bolted down ready to go.
Went up into attick to get the primers carefully stored 20 years ago
hmm now just where was it
not that hard same as most other necked cases bit of work finding the right loads powders bullets etc etc some of the brands make ammo as good as you can hand loading but if wanting to be away from main stream loads yer forsed to hand loadHow hards reloading a .223 ?
