shottyscotty 3 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 if a 22-250 does that amount of damage then why a ppl using massive calibes for foxes such as 308 and 30-06 because that would be so overkill Quote Link to post
Deker 3,453 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 if a 22-250 does that amount of damage then why a ppl using massive calibes for foxes such as 308 and 30-06 because that would be so overkill Frankly I consider many calibres and rounds overkill but that is another story. Apparently this is the exit hole, a 22-250HP is Very fast and fairly devastating, but this is not the result every time, it will depend what and where it hits, taking things to the other extreme it is possible that an almost identical shot could have been taken and you would have to look hard for the entry/exit. Sometimes the hole is Very big, other times it is surprisingly small! Cheers Deker Quote Link to post
Guest bruno527 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 great shoot.... as for the larger cals.. a 223 would do this @ 250 yds & a 6.5 @ 500 , if ya hit 'em, more of a challenge huh!! well done. Quote Link to post
Tikka T3 0 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 well as deka stated you dont always get this damage ,it looks like its hit a leg on the way in and lets be fair at 70 yds what do you expect .but at least it was clean,i got a 22.250 some times it leaves some damage especially if its a head shot other times only minimal damage but i think a 223 would be pushing it on a body shot at 250 to do this damage . t3 Quote Link to post
bullx 12 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 The good thing about shooting them with a 22-250 is you don,t have to gut them when you shoot them Quote Link to post
Hunter hendy 0 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 The good thing about shooting them with a 22-250 is you don,t have to gut them when you shoot them i use a 222 and have just been getting a17hmr which needs scopeing in looking forwad to use when we get a still night with 17grain ammo Quote Link to post
Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Here is one I shot with a 223, never felt a thing. Quote Link to post
hairyface 211 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 theres no fear of that fox running into the under growth and dieing slowly, and as for irish lurchers pic, well as you say it didnt feel a thing lol. Quote Link to post

Deker 3,453 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) sad b******ds dont look at it if you dont like it muppet Ruin Jamie has a point...you are a new member of a HUNTING SITE, nobody is gloating, nobody is laughing, this is the real world and we sometimes take pictures of extreme events. If you don't like it don't look, or dare I say it, think about joining another site! Cheers Deker Edited January 19, 2008 by Deker Quote Link to post
Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 sad b******ds Ruin I am not to sure as to what you expected to see on a hunting site, little dogs chasing balls around some garden??? We are hunters on this site, and believe it or not, we use many methods to take our quarry, and rifles fall into this bracket, be honest what did you expect to see?? Quote Link to post
