Beretta28g Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Well i decided to have a mornings stalking this morning as the freezer could do with a bit more Munty. I got there well before first light and was in position in reasonable time. I had been sitting there for about half a hour when a fox put in a appearance at about 175 yards away, a quick squeak and she came trotting towards me, i had to shout "Oi" to get her to stop at around 40 yards away. Result! Entry Side Exit side Exit close up(I did a little field PM as this was the first kill with my homeloads). Well after that i had a quick coffee then saw some movement ahead. It turned out to be a young Muntjac Doe, smaller in size than the fox i had just shot, so i let her pass. I was thinking of packing up when i saw another fox walking towards me, I didnt need to squeak this one, but did have to shout at it to stop it. As soon as the shot had gone off, a CWD that i hadnt seen in the side of the vegitation to off at high speed. Fox Number 2 Exit So i went after a deer, saw 2 but came away with two dead foxes and No deer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beretta28g Posted May 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Cheers all, these two foxes dropping like a sack of spuds (not even a twitch) has given me confidence in my homeloads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beretta28g Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 always a bonus slotting foxes! what loads/calibre? will they not produce similar carcase damage on a muntjack? Bewesher, Caliber is 6.5x55 The load which i have worked up for my gun is Reused Hornady factory case CCI 200 Large Rifle Primer 47gn Reloader 22 140gn A-Max Regarding carcass damage, possibily. The first fox was a true broadside, and it had a small entry wound and reasonable exit wound, i would not be upset with this on a Muntjac. The second fox was quartering and the entry wound was through the heavy shoulder bone, so i would have expected a bit of carcass damage really even with my factory stuff. A deer, even a Muntjac, is bigger those foxes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
