AndyCM Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 I was after the fallow yesterday at first light, with instructions to take out any foxes too. Nothing showed (full moon ) despite the gamekeeper leaving gates open for me and spilling a few oats here and there. So after a blank I was on to another patch, pheasant feeder filling and sitting up if I got the chance. Pheasants done so a sit in a high seat and a call up. One calling session and within 10 mins this dog fox appeared 100 yards to my right, I let him move into the open for a more comfortable shot and nailed him at 80 yards in front. Then the rain started, so I went home (been soaked through enough lately ) Cheers AndyCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveW Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Hi Steve,A regular .243 - no complaints from the foxes! Hi Andy, It's a great round, do you use the 58g V Maxes for foxes, I know many on here swear by them or do you stick with one bullet weight for all your needs?

Top man. Cheers Neil Hi Neil, Don't tell anyone that I tried to make you a 6mm BR case out of a .243 Win eh !!!!!!!!!! Hi Andy, It's a great round, do you use the 58g V Maxes for foxes, I know many on here swear by them or do you stick with one bullet weight for all your needs? Steve Hi Steve, I have used 95g Nosler Ballistic Tips on almost all of the foxes that I have taken with the .243 and they have performed very well. Mainly as I have a deer bullet first and a fox bullet second. I just need to get my 7mm up and running as my deer rifle (need a good day - been waiting ages, hopefully soon) and then I'll try 70g's in the .243. I tried 55g's a while ago and they were all over the place. Cheers AndyCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
