2 charlies

[cragman 2,631]

Popped out to two local farms tonight looking to sort out a couple of Charlies that have been pestering the owners and in my haste I forgot to attach the mod to the Hornet. I couldn’t be arsed to go back for it and arrived at the first spot not too hopeful. Long story short, boom! First one down at 75 yds after just a minute. A vixen with a lovely brush on her. Onto spot number 2. Once again, a very short visit. Flicked the lamp on, spotted the fox. Gun mounted, scope torch on, a squeak to get his attention, boom! Dog fox down. Home for 9, job done

That is an unusually large brush.

That first fox with its tail reminds me of that female squirrel thing in the ice age movies!

22hornet or has it been necked down unneccasarily?

Excellent. The old hornet often overlooked, still floats my boat ( what ever that means). .

What bullet?

The .22 hornet is a nice round, I use Remington or Hornady 35 grain ballistic tip, very accurate. For me it does everything the mouse gun does and a lot more.

Sellier and Bellot 45g. Used to use home loads but the guy who did them for me unfortunately isn’t with us anymore

Sorry for your loss.

 

The S&B rounds are good, I remember them being quite strong and a good price too. Their bullets are are good too.

[cragman 2,631]

Cheapish round but they do the job. I’m not into ballistics and loads etc. I just point and shoot

How much are they these days?

[Rimfireboy! 1,463]

I paid £31/50 box for these Remington’s which perform the same as the hornady’s in my hw60. Hornady’s are about £23/25 box though. S&B’s £16/20 box.

[cragman 2,631]

£20.55 Kirklees guns

[Sausagedog 7,381]

Ouch .. s&b were about £7 when I last bought some!

Ever tried PPU lads?

I wish the South American producers would import their ammo!

Yeah I tried PPU SP 45gr. They do the job, but aren't as accurate as my homeloads and aren't very cheap these days at £21 a box.
