All, just thought Id share a new load I ahev been trying out for foxing. As follows:
Rifle: Remington model 7 stainless 20" barrel with Pes large muzzle can
Scope: Bushnell Elite 6500 4.5x30x50
Ammo:
Winchester cases trimmed to 1.91"
Powder: Hodgdon benchmark, 35 grains
Bullet: Sierra blitz 50g varmint soft point
Primer: Federal gold
OAL: 2.385"
Performance:
3900 FT/s
3/4" high at 100 yards (sub 1/2" group)
Zero at 150 yards (sub 1/2" group)
1" low at 200 yards (sub 1" group)
Not had time to shoot from further ranges yet but in my trajectory program it suggests 3" low at 250 yards and then 6"low at 300 yards....That will do for me.
Took 2 foxes with it last night one at 70 yards (body shot) and the other at 130 yards (head shot).
Also made up some 55g with 33g Hodgdon Benchmark, have only tried them at 100 yards, nice tight group.
