Hey guys, just looking for yer advise on shooting foxes with lapua scenar 108gr. I know they were designed for target shooting but i cant seem to get a light factory load for the 6.5 that i could use for fox shooting. Last year i went to a local gun dealer(not going to mention who) and he told me that 100gr fmj would be ok…

Thanks for that paulo6.5, i gave a call into paul o halloran today. Got a box of the 120gr normas for 42euro. Good price because i phoned a few dealers before i went down to paul and he came up with the better price. So of to zero in the rifle for the new ammo tomorrow and see how good they are in my gun. Just curious paulo, when you use the 120 normas for deer do you neck shoot the animal?

the first couple of times i went for hart/lung shot but i find a neck shot will drop the animal on the spot, i'v grown in confidence with using the round and will take a neck shot more often than not.
happy hunting
