We do a 50gr .222 and .22-250 load in Fox Classic Hunter
Copper bullets - the limitations

Thanks. It doesn’t state the TTSX tip length. But assuming the worse case that the tip is in addition to the bullet length, it looks like this will stabilise even at lower speeds.

I read more recently that around 80% of all deer in NFE are culled between September and March which suggests the remaining 20% get caught during the spring and summer, when neither night shooting or OOS shooting is taking place.

That's much more like it.

Is this a reloading projectile for the .222 or a 50grn round
At the risk of de-railing this thread even more, can you show me where you read this please?
You would expect most of the cull to be happening between September-March as that is the (amended) season for culling female deer.
I know that several 'sporting' estates use night and out of season licenses on their woodland blocks, but why is it only an issue when FLS and NatureScot use them?

I can’t sorry, but it’s no secret, it is published somewhere within their returns stats, and I did have it confirmed in conversation with a then senior player from within the operation. It was more recent than 2013.
I've not made any mention of it being an issue, I was just putting it forward as a matter of fact, following Carl‘s remark about the proportions.

I had the chance to use the Fox 130g out of the .270 yesterday most were H&L shots last was a neck shot after I was happy the muntys would drop to the shot and none were runners, so I was sure they did expand as informed , as said the last was a neck shot and the trauma within the neck reconfirmed the same as the chest shots very happy to move on and continue with The copper Fox bullets.
And have to say Thanks to Ed for the load data

I do like it when couples use the same ammunition...
Great. I'm going to work on two 85 gr loads for roe deer (Barnes / copper and Partition / lead). Hopefully point of aim will be similar.
Be very interested to know how you get on with that
Are you planning the 85 TSX? People seem to be getting better expansion and performance with the TTSX. They offer an 80gr which should be plenty for Roe.
I shot two roe with the fox hunters at the weekend and agree, good expansion, quick death, good blood trail. Will skin the carcass and post pics later this weekI had the chance to use the Fox 130g out of the .270 yesterday most were H&L shots last was a neck shot after I was happy the muntys would drop to the shot and none were runners, so I was sure they did expand as informed , as said the last was a neck shot and the trauma within the neck reconfirmed the same as the chest shots very happy to move on and continue with The copper Fox bullets.
