Guest sako Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Been after this dog fox for two weeks now. First saw it in the lamp but it was lamp shy, so I kept going most mornings on the estate and waited for it to break light. Finally saw it this morning about 150 yards away and in freezing fog! I shot it with 105g a-max, then shortly after I thought I'd try the A-max out on pigeons that were 120 yards away, to see what the ammo would do. These are the first kills I've had with 6x47. Very happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed wise it runs similar to a .243 but more accurately. At the minute I am loading 39 grain of n160 with a 105 a-max. laying down off by-pod at 100 yards it is shooting in 0.300 consistently. It feeds better than my 6mmbr. I have not chronoed it yet so have not got a clue on speed. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6mmBR Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Good going, I'm off to Dashermans tomorrow he's fitting a 6x47 Pacnor barrel to my RPA. Interesting to see what sort of velocities you get. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
