First Predator of the Year!

Post by FireBallGuy »

I was the lucky one this year! First predator put down, 300 yards on the nose! Load was WW brass, 205M, 39 grain BK and 25.2 grains of RL-10X. I think this guy got the point........LOL!!!Image

Thank you. This guy was a little sneaky but the old 204 kinda out sneaked him! I am very pleased with how this load works. Not the last word in accuracy but it is quick. On this guy is was squeze the trigger, very short delay, heard the pop of bullet impact and it was done. Normally my bro in law draws first predator blood but I was ready when the fox stopped and he was not.....HAHA!

Usually I am way behind as I live in the "Big City" but this time I was the lucky one to drop the hammer first! One of the nicest foxes I have ever seen bar none!
