It's the type of bullet not how heavy it is that counts.

+1 but I would opt for the sako ammo as mine shoots it better.Without a thought .222 50 gn federal
I agree with this especially in the lower end of the bullet weights. One of the reasons that roe were not included in the 2007 ammendment to allow the use of CF .22's in England and Wales was that the majority of bullets loaded in factory ammo were intended for vermin use, not that the calibres themselves were not suitable. There was quite a bit more to it than that but it was one of the factors. JC
Having had a bit of a think about this it also smacks of hypocrisy in another way: The .22 centrefires are now allowed for use on Muntjac and Chinese water deer. So it follows that if the opinion held was that the bullets available in England were 'not suitable' then those that held the opinion also tacitly condoned their use on the previously mentioned species.
Frankly it all stinks.
