Wolfdog91 7,239 Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Not to derail another thread , was curious if any of you guys had experience with these FOX bullets ? Apparently their made in the eu somewhere ( Slovenia I think ) ? Curious anyone here as tried them and what y'all though ? Seems to be a good bullet Quote Link to post
ianm 2,594 Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 I don't know anyone who uses 6.5 creedmore for fox and i certainly wouldn't. Since most fox shooting in the uk is done at night i cannot see what those big heavy loopy bullets would bring to the party. When night shooting of foxes with n/v or thermal is the order of the day, flat shooting is king. When i say flat shooting i am talking .204, 22.250, 243 using 55grn bullets. 2 Quote Link to post

If going foxing I take the centrefire, foxes were opportunistic whilst rabbitting. I have shot rabbits and hares with it too that weren't dead either. 1 Quote Link to post
