Shotgunspud Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) I had the day off due to my daughter's first harvest festival so after that i had time on my hands. I popped out for an hour last night with the 22.250 just on dark!! Was away from the car and within 5mins i spotted a set of eyes about 200 yards away. I was the right side of the wind from her with a good back stop so tried a squeak but with no joy, so safety off and POP; down she went. Put the range finder on her after and she was 191 yards so not to far out anyway one more less. Saw 4 more but no shot offered. Next time....

maddog546 Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Now you have practised with that little round,take your 270 out a push the ranges with it,110 grain ballistic tips leave an exit hole the size of a rabbit on foxes. Nice to take them at range but you must know your ground,I liketo have a play with the range finder on new ground just to get a measure as at night its not so easy to tell how long a field is. Good shooting keep it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog you would'nt want to wear that Little round 270 bit over kill i think with 150 grain soft point but yes i know what you mean with the exit hole... i like to call them up within the 150 mark as a roll, but yes i know the ground well it belongs to my family and i have been shooting it all my life so i have a very good idea of a night of the range off the foxes. but thanks mate for the reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
