Finally got out yesterday afternoon to run the 20 VT in and yes it worked.
No group shooting just a quick run in and line the scope up.
First shot at a live feral

Looks the goods mate, to say I was pissed off after I rang you last nite while I was at work would be an understatement
you had 5 foxes in the light at once I've got to do some rigging work on a dragline bucket. Looking forward to having a shot in September.
You better do the load development for this one mate while I look for a lightweight 20 barrel.

I rang him sometime last night, I think it was after OL55, I had around 60 pair done and was having a feed and coffee, reckons the phone calls cost him a couple of foxes
Wonder how many you would have got if there were no interuptions.
20's rule for me for foxes and cats now.

James will correct me but I think it was 7. Max was 258m I did not range it as it was the vixen of a pair and was parallel to the fence and 100m down the hill from where James shot the dog a couple of hours later and I did range that after he shot it.Most would have been around that or a bit less as I left the close ones for the 270
Notice the concertina effect after the Texas heart shot at 30m

They reckon its the best time to call him as its the only time you can be off the phone to him in under an hour

I'll get some more PMC 222 brass to you eventually, ran out of tags for the roo's before I finished off the last of the ammo.
Dropped of the returns and put in for more tags today so bit of luck I might get them shot off before the weekend.
