AndyCM Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Decided a bit of baiting was in order for fox. No lamps needed tonight, I just picked a good spot and got comfortable just before sunset - my back to a river, so no foxes creeping up behind me. The bait was 100 yards away in front of a bank (backstop for the bullet and good backdrop for seeing the fox against). I did not have to wait long, 30-40 mins, and along came this one - only 35 yards away and skulking in the general direction of the bait - stopped (not by me) for some marking and took a 75g ballistic tip to the chest. I did see another (about 150 yards away) but no interest from that one - so will try different tactics for that one soon. Cheers AndyCM - must get a better camera - or shoot a few in daylight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heppy1148 Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Just out of interest do you load your own ammo, if so why the ballistic tip? I use 75gr federal classic and i can put 3 in the end of my thumb @125m. If you dont home load what brand ammo have you matched to ya rifle?

Hi H, You must have long arms, does it hurt I do load my own ammo but these are factory - I tried a few factory boxes recently and Remington Premier Accutip 75g ballistic tips (as used yesterday) and 80g softpoints again Remington both group well and with the same point of impact. I will try and replicate the 75/80g loads if I can get hold of the bullets heads - that's been the most frustrating thing about my reloading, getting hold of the bullet heads - always out of stock Cheers AndyCM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
