miffy Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Went foxing tonight again with the .243 left home at quarter past ten and got back at about half 12 Shot 6 but only picked 5 up........2nd shot was at a fox over 200 yards away and i thought i had hit it clean i reloaded again and looked through the scope to see it crawling away, it made it into a standing crop and was never seen again. Going back in the morning with dogs to find it. I don't think it will be going far judging by the mess the 75 grain Vmax's do to foxes.

miffy Posted July 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 6 in one night, good going. I ran out of ammo Only had 6 left and my mate never had his .223 with him Saw 2 more foxes on the field where this pic was taken I've been today to get some more 75G Vmax but they aint got none in stock I came away with a box of 65 grainers so i'm gonna try and sort a load out for them now. Deadeye Ive will have to shoot a few if he gets a night off work That was a good night miffy. Well done. Frank. Cheers Frank and Axe You were,nt kidding then once the crops are cut ...........Them v- max are certainly opening them up mate ..........Good luck retrieving the one that got away ........it happens to the best of us i know its dead mate but how the hell it made it into the crop is beyond me....I heard the thump when the bullet hit it and just assumed it was flat out It could not have gone far. We haven't covered much land yet and the farmers were finishing off some fields last night that we haven't had a look at yet (coz i ran out of ammo ) Let me know as soon as you can make it out for the night........bring plenty of ammo too :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
