arveyboy 0 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 i know a few of you use this combination and ive been away from home for ages so ive only just procured it. is it odd that it took almost 4 months for my local dealer to stock some hornady 87g bthp's? anyway ive got varget and those because i know a few of you on here use it to great effect so what combinations do you use? cheers, jack Quote Link to post
mattydski 560 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Good round 87gr BTHP's devastating on fox, splits them in two. I dont however use Varget, I use N140. At about 36gr.. Does all I need. Quote Link to post
HUnter_zero 58 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 (edited) I dont however use Varget, I use N140. Both powders are more or less exactly the same. My recipe is for 75 grain V-max driven by 44 grains of H380. John Edited December 30, 2010 by HUnter_zero Quote Link to post

I also had some good results with 87 grain V-Max with 44grains of H414 which produced 1.25" groups at 200yds. Both the above were seated just off the lands by .003-5" Both of these combinations will dispatch a fox easily with devastating effects. Edited December 31, 2010 by robbobsam Quote Link to post
