Fair point...cracking fox roundEver tried 204 mate??
The 6.5 Creed will certainly put them on the deck...I did weep a little when I used the last 3 Sako Blade 120 grain copper on foxes
How did you deduce that ? There is little real extra safety to the general public in granted 22CF over a a 6.5 mm . Both .22 cal and 6.5 are used by Nato in war fighting and a stupid shot could / should and that's something that should be gone over at interview
could easy be a 22-250 or a 6.5 Grendle we are talking about

No need in the firearms act, just good reason!

Since when have unqualified FEOs been the experts on ballistics?
Some of them are, but your right not all and that is the whole point.
They (FEO's) are dealing with a whole book of rules and law, a book with a much broader scope than ballistics and as @SimpleSimon said "The HO guidance does say that good reason should not be equated to need, and that they should consider things primarily from the applicant's point of view."
So it's up to the applicant to show to the FLO that there is a 'need' (for that more weighted bullet) rather than a 'want' and that the ground and your firearm handling technique is 'safe'.
As has been pointed out though, the 'guidelines' (from which the FEO is operating) does say that a .22CF is good enough/adequate for Mr Fox so your "need" must outweigh that argument.
It may be easier for the OP to alter his reasoning to more fit the guidelines and the FEO's understanding of the 'need' for such a caliber.
As has been said in this thread already ...
You might be lucky and get an FEO that leans towards being called a 'policeperson' in which case you stand a much better chance of getting a Creed (apparently).

With reference to both the Cullan and Keyham enquiries FLDs are not following the recommendations to use properly trained and qualified staff. Certainly my experience of Hampshire FLD is of unknowledgeable individuals appearing to. follow a flowchart. So what legal qualifications exactly does Lou Hubble have that enables her to lead the FLD?
6mm Creed ? Its just a modern take on the .243 and the performance is about the same ( just make sure you get a 1-8 twist on the .243 ) . however the HO list the 243 for fox , sneaky but sometimes you need to be in life eh?
No idea who that is ... Google tells me she is the Chair of the National Wildlife Crime Unit .... ????
