Hello From Scotland
I sold me .243 and got me a .308, best thing i did, the .308 gives me complete confidence and faith a very important thing.
Any how a friend of mine has just got fire arms certificate back from the police and has been granted permission for a .243 rifle and sound moderator.
He will be using it a lot for fox lamping late night/ early morning hence the moderator. He will also be using it on Deer up to your largest white tail.
What hes looking for is a "multi-purpose" bullet that will meet all the requirments of the quarry he will be hunting ? Anyone recommend any thing ? I thought that Nosler would probably be about his best choice ?
Note of interest, about the sound moderator, our firearm laws are extremely strict and in the past if you mentioned one to the police- after he'd wipped the coffee he'd just spat across the table from his mouth and once the colour had returned to his checks- "NO CHANCE" would have been the answer !
Apparently one of our shooting organisations put on a demonstration for a bunch of police "big-wigs" / "top-brass" with different full bore using sound moderators................. Much to the amazement of the cops they are as silent as Hollywood would have you believe, so now they are a lot easier to get now.
I remember the first time i stood next to a moderated 7mm mauser the guy fired it and i lept in the air ! next to the shooter it was still very loud, however if you backed off you did notice a reduction in noise.
Personally i would'nt have one on my .308 it would muck up its balence and weight...
