What is a .22?

[welshwarrior]

I at one time wasn’t allowed a 22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire for foxes around chicken pens as I was a little uncomfortable with my 222. I was refused as magnum calibres where unsuitable for fox control but I could have a 22-250. During the interview I asked about a 22WMR response yes that’s fine it’s just the magnums we don’t allow was the response.

I recently put a variation in for a 22cf and was told I needed to be more specific, so .223 it is then!

Calibre vs chambering cock up
Some authorities recognise the 22cf, some don’t

Yep.
As said you’ve bought a .223, get amended to show .223 and move on with life. You can always change it a later date free for another .22CF provided you still have good reason so why get your knickers in a twist?

im not overly shocked that they make mistakes, reading posts on another thread on here people talk about 308 and 30-06 as different calibres. if we cant get it correct should we be surprised they dont!

Oh dear! I hope you didn’t enlighten them.

I don't understand your comments buddy.

The original fault here is either with the grant, or the application.

The HO guidance states that applications for calibres should be specific - an application for, example, a .30x, a 22CF, 22RF, etc. calibre should be sent back to the applicant or rejected.
