that would be quite something to see robsharpe you must be mad or just game for a laugh
-
although the fox is a pest in some areas i would NOT shoot one with an air rifle you need to respect your quarry and take them out clean and fast, keep your air rifle for what it was intended for , however much you are tempted

no probs anytime the rifle is a remi 700 vssf the scope is a deben night tec 6*24* 56 with 30 mil tube & illuminated mill dot retical ,although this rifle is a heavy rifle the accuracy i v-good ,the moderator is a t-8 i now use 55gr v-max heads,lapua brass ,25.5 gr benchmark powder cci bench rest primer's it took about a month using a chrono ,working from 24gr powder in .5 incraments eventualy finishing with what i have now .This load produces an average velocity of 3259 fps ,with an average deviation of 15.5 fps and 1297 ft-lb where as my original powder (h4895) 3110 fps a

thanks foxshot,as far as i can tell you by what hes said is that the person who is loading them for has all the balistic data,overall bullet length,etc but when he loads them they are to long for the mag,he says the head can b pushed deeper but looks all wrong,he hasnt fired any because he isnt sure how they are seating with the rifleing the best thing to do is find someone that can measure the chamber if possible , i used a set of digital caliper's with a set of comparators to measure the seating depth .Using rcbs comp dies i was able to adjust the depth very easily at first when i loade

well i dont realy know on this subject but one of the area's we shoot over on the north east on farmer said he was walking his dog when he saw what he thought was a black lab but when he got closer he said it look'd like a cat and it jumprd into some cover and was gone? tru or not i dont know ,his naighbour told us that she was watching tv when she heard one of her cat's screaming when she went out she found it with it's back leg ripped off ? again who know's what it was, we have lamped there alot covering a fair sized area and havent seen anything yet ,but supose we did and shot it i th

on the road to otterburn we get regular bag's of 3 plus over there ,some night's we see very few fox's one night we must have seen near on 20 but quite a few are lamp shy so quite long range shot's are called for , our best night to date is eight in the north west of scotland
-
well for a start i would not use someone else's home loads ,perhaps the head's havnt been seated deep enough ,i had a friend who knows a thing or two about home loading measure my rifle's chamber with a oal gauge i now seat my head's two thou of the rifling they look to be seated to deep but everything shoots fine although i only use 55 gr so i dont know what length gr are if i was your friend i would invest in some home loading equipment and try diferent bullet weights and load's to find which suites his rifle best

this is one of our better night's lamping .These were shot in the north east ,even though it's quite a long way to drive it's well worth it they were shot using my remi 700 in223 and my mates cz in222 i shot one farm and my mate would shoot the next this is what we done on most of the permision we have .We should have had more but we missed shot's that should not have missed ,but you can't get them all
