Healthy fella

[ejg223]

Popped out to test a couple reloads.

45gr Varget under 165SST's seemed to group a bit tighter than

than 44.5gr. Killed the farmers bucket while at it.

 

Left 45gr Varget 3 shot, right 2 shot 44.5 Varget.

 

Then this poor fella got a 165 SST out of the 308.

 

As it started to get darker a couple calls brought this fella in, some healthy dog fox.

Of course he came from behind, so a freehand shot at 90yds.

This time 155gr a-maxes.

That's a lovely coat on that fox, Good Shooting

[ejg223]

Kip, that fox was an absolute beauty as if

just groomed. That farm has so many rabbits

that when tossing the fox in the ditch I almost hit a

rabbit. They'd sit 10 yds in front of you. Not

much fun shooting them.

So a well fed fox.

by the way fired two shots at a rabbit at 400m both missed

don't know how you lads do it. At 300m my data worked but 400..?

That is a nice looking fox did the bucket not drop on the first shot

They take some stopping those plastic buckets do

Nice shooting.

Made sure the bucket wouldn't drop

put some stones in it

A couple years ago i painted a dot on the farmers

concrete water basin. Thought surely that little 223

wouldn't do any harm. wrong. blew a 2" hole clean through.
