Ah! Well here goes . Perhaps Northants have got a point ? The .375HH Mag. is a bit of a 'cannon' designed for plains game isn't it ?
Is there really a good reason for one to shoot deer in the UK ? What will the .375HH Mag. do that a 30-06 (or many others) won't, other than put a bigger dent in your wallet ? .
Well I heard that eight out of ten Muntjac, who responded to a recent poll, expressed a preference for the .222 Rem.ah but norm, that's just it, the point is what will a .3006 do that 8x57 won't, or .308 for that matter..... But if you've got a rifle on your ticket that's for overseas use, and you have access to suitable land at home why on earth shouldn't you be able to use it? A 22250 round will go just as far if pointed in the right direction (and by comparison are more often used at night where people can't always see backstops etc...).
i agree if you apply for one for uk use alone, good luck, but ultimately the deer won't know know it's been killed by too much bullet for the job.... Dead is dead....
All true.... but as it doesn't 'fit my case', I have no option but to do a @Gov.uk and ignore inconvenient facts.
I never had a muntjac complain at being shot by the .375!
Dont hold your breath it might take a long time but if you have good reason Northants can be reasonable too but dont get fobbed off with what the FEOs tell you, go direct to the firearms licensing manager.
