Underdog Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Watch the mid range, it maybe nearly 2" high, not always, depends on the first cross over. Wish I could get some Winchesters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wymberley Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 If you fancy trying a couple more, if you can get them locally, the RWS is a real brute and the 50g federal is a good fox choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cervusman Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 My Ruger loves Remington 33gr V-Max and there 33gr Accutip-v, handy as they both shot to the same point of aim and clove leaf. I did use Federal 50gr and still have some, but only use them at the range to play with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebridges Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 thanks, got it for short range fox in woods and round pens and barns so fingers crossed i may meet a few Perfect for that sort of thing. I hope to find a few to try it out on Charlie. Good initial group off the wing mirror. Shoot it prone and i'll bet you'll half that. Enjoy.

The Federal weren't up to much but were superb in the little Anschutz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Col, I could not believe the difference I got in groups size with a wider range of ammo and a zero balance between differing loadsvonce I got that barrel well off the wood! So easy to do too! Also consider some fmj CCI. I think Henry krank can send it directly to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cut a thick plastic bottle to make shaped washers with a hole for each screw. It just lifts the barreled action out the stock. I knew I was onto something when zero was way off after doing it and groups size lost flyers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
