I have used these loads in a BSA Classic and my present rifle Heym SR20. For foxes Sierra 60 grn hollow points over 30 grns Reloder 7. For Roe, Sierra 85 grn Spitzer,over 47 grns H4831. These loads have served me well , accurate in both rifles. I assume this is uneccessary but these are safe loads in my rifle,work them up in your own. Good luck anyway in whatever you choose Quote Link to post

Mr_Logic 5 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I shoot Norma 58gr Vmax at foxes and I have yet to find one that didn't die PDQ. It shot bull after bull at a target the other day too, so very accurate (from my RWS Titan6, so not directly applicable I'm afraid). At deer (only roe) I use 85gr Federal hollow points.
