Alycidon Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 I have just started using Sierra 39gr Blitzkings with really good results in a 20 cal. Shoot bug hole groups and blow the crap out of anything they connect with, shame they don't make a 50gr in 20. I also use Berger MEF 50gr in 20 and Barts 68gr FBHP match bullets in a 6mm.

eric Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 40gr nosler . 24gr N133 Tikka 222. 87g Vmax 43gr N160 Sako III 75. They don,t argue with either. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 The guy who built my 20 has been building his own wildcats since the early 1960s. he uses .22 Sierra 1360 soft points as his standard bullet. He says he has proved that these drop and drift less than anything with a plastic tip. He does not bother with anything below 150 yards and showed me some 600 yards groups that confirmed his findings. I am though quite happy using what I do as I dont need to shoot at those ranges, he does as he shoots monster wheat fields in Cambs. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyw Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 my set up. 17 fireball-22gn berger mef-n133. 17 rem 20gn vmax-n135-night vision. .22br 40gn sierra bk-h322 or if the wind picks up 52gn amax-n135 just adjust scope. 6br rabbit bashing 60gn sierra hp fox load 75gn vmax-varget. all things that get in the way get dead. the bk do make a mess of stuff but the vmax tend to stay in the carcass leaving a bag of soup the berger mef rips stuff up very good bullets but sadly no longer made just the match grade varmint style.

Vermincinerator Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 I am using 52grn Berger Varmint in front of 37grns of IMR 4895 in my 22-250 Imp. I also load 85grn Nosler BT's over 47.5grns of Vit550 in my 257 Imp. Both are very effective Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22/250 foxer Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 vmax or blizkings both do the job well on fox from the 22/250. must admit had more damage on the foxes when i used softpoints tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finman Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 39gn Blitzkings out of my .204Ruger, gets the job done up to 300 yrds 65gn Vmax out of my 6mmBR (33gn N135- 3400fps) also doesn't have many foxes/crows/rabbits argue with them either 87gn Vmax when it is windy gets the job done too with the BR! best wishes Finman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varmartin Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 155 Amax @ 2875fps makes a big hole in a fox.... but I have a feeling the 110 Vmax @3500 out of my TRG will hit even harder.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scotland Rifles Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 70gr blitz king in .243 is superb. but my 40gr vmax from hornady .20 tac does it faster and flater than the .243. bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejg223 Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Fast and flat is nice, but lets face it at some point we need to hold over or dial. More important in my opinion is that I can shoot a fox from any angle. If the bugger is running away from the chicken shed... I want something that goes in and comes out again. The 243 with 80gr sierra varminters are good for that, not as explosive as the name makes believe. A side on shot with my 22-250 and 52gr Nos BTHP seemed to dropped em quicker but overall the 243 is a bit better at distance, wind and penetration. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrelsniffer Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 My NV set up 223 tikka uses 50gn vmax..with 24gn vit 133 and my day rifle tikka 223 uses 60 gn vmax with 24gn vit 135...both very accurate loads. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
