Hi guys,
Some of you will know that I have recently purchased my first .17HMR. I regularly shoot foxes with my .223 using 55gr Hornady V-Max which is obviously a lot more forgiving than a little .17. I am just looking for a little advice from people with experience with this calibre on ethical shot placement on foxes. I'm sure some people would say it's only a fox but I believe it's our duty to dispatch an animal as humanely as possible and I always try to do so. So if you guys could tell me what would be the safest shot, side chest, frontal chest, neck, head etc.
Thanks,
Chris
PS. Also received my Leupold VX-2 6-18x40mm today. I had paid 400+ euro and it was imported from the USA and the Irish Government then slapped 125euro VAT on it. What a shower of w*nkers!Grrr
