sporting rifles Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 what are people using bullet wise and barrel twist wisein this situation a 6mmbr with really light bullet purely for fox you can out what ever you like in it provided its throated for the shorter bullets,most people I know who got a BR seem to have a long throat and struggle getting a lighter bullet up to the lands,there always hanging out the case,a 12 or 13 twist would do from 58s to 80s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyw Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 SPUD-i used 60gn sierra hp in my cooper 8twist with v135 or varget very effective fox buster by far the best "light" one was 75vmax with varget anchors them good and proper. see you sunday.

maespant Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I use 75 Grain Hornady Vmax with 32 grains or Varget Ragged hole at 100m Looking for a 105 Amax recipe if anyone has one Mine is 1/8 twist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 65 gr Vmax is first choice, 55gr NBT second choice. The NBT tends to pencil through due to its heavier jacket I suspect, exits not much bigger than entries. 65 Vmax does a good job expansion wise, big exits usually. Drive them at about 3400/3500.

Finman Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Mine is a 1:9 Twist and shoots anything from 58gn upwards. Ragged holes all day with 58gn Vmax, 65gn Vmax, 70gn Sierra BK, and devastating performance to all kinds of vermin. best wishes, Finman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skany Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 depending on tube length with a 1-12 u could be pushing near 4k with a 55 g bullet! I love mine as a foxer even without a mod very easy to see kills! Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
