AndyCM Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 It's been a difficult time trying to get out with some ok weather, lots of wind and rain to contend with. But rain or shine go out we must Over looking a promising fox hot spot - turned out I was sitting on one of their runs - reccy's always pay off eventually. Back later to get two cubs - close at 40 & 80 yards with the .243 Then despite the rain I had a .17hmr to zero, looked at first like the shower would pass but in the end I got soaked, it was worth it though as I got the bunny's. These were shot at close range (for the hmr) at 50 - 80 yards due to the wind - gusting across the field - luckily the grass had just been cut so I could at least see them. Roll on harvest and the sun out. Cheers AndyCM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pin Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 .243 making instant work of charlie and a good few brace of clean headshot rabbit. Potentially answering my own question, how do you find the little hmr pill in the rain? I tried and might just have been unlucky? Few wayward shots I thought might have not liked the downpour. Thinking about it, was more likely the muppet looking through the sight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Paul Hi Paul, At the moment 95g Noslers BT's, the same as I use for deer, the foxes don't seem to mind them. I have tried lighter bullets and they work ok too, but the 95g's work perfectly well at the distances that I shoot and I keep the same zero.
