Is anyone reloading with the Fox Classic Hunter bullets? What's the verdict?
 
Hi BC,

I am. Have a few boxes of 9,3 220 grs FOX bullets. Used them in my BRNO ZKK 600 9,3x62. Got 3 Red deer and a Fallow deer. Like this bullet. Can get 2800 f/s in the 60 cm barrel of my rifle with R15, NORMA or RWS cases.
FOX at the top. The other two are 250 grs Hornady GMX and Barnes TTSX.

I have started to use the 100gr fox classics in my 6.5x55 and so far I am very happy. Very happy with the accuracy and very happy with the results on the roe deer I've shot so far. I also load the 250gr fox classics in my 375H&H, so far its the most accurate bullet I have loaded for my 375 and I am hoping to use it on plainsgame next year.
 
We have them available in Canada. I used 160's in my 8x57 at 2860 fps. Shot great. Shot a 200+lb mule buck and a coyote with them. Preformed well. Low BC, so the wind will buckle them at further ranges but within 300ish yards, their plenty.

Tried a different load yesterday in a carbine length rifle with a 20.5" barrel. 160gr Fox 8x57 JS. Amazing accuracy with my starting load. Confirmed this with two groups. First one was 0.6" and the other 0.575" for 3 shots at 100 yards.

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?

You might have edited your post on the PH in the Bubye. I know the PH and is a wonderful person and a fmaily man and runs a succesful business in Zim and just doesn't want the attention that the internet offers, the ugly kind.
