I just got back from hunting fox with my knife making buddy. He is down with his work load but I managed to get him smiling tonight.
We found a fox in a hedge as we drove over a small hill. He was in the bottom hiding in a hedge. Rob had to aim between two sticks with just an inch gap just at it's head. Something like 100yds but that 140grn B tip in .27 found it's mark like usual. Later on we found another fox on the side of a small valley. We lasered it at 240yds dead on! he say's he allowed for a couple of inch drop and he got that too. We also recoverd the bullet jacket from the turf behind the fox, an old dog fox (male) with only one fang remaining. We heard and saw a screaming vixen but she slipped away from us.
I have concerns about these slugs, I have to check that they will fit in a plastic case yet!
If I can then a 4" group at 50yds would be fantastic. Thier shape should give a good thumping to anything in the way!
The ball thing would take some doing IMO. A small single ball will take deer just like from a M/L but a fast powder may be required in a normal light weight 410 and not to much of it at that so that may mean filling the case with wadding and in my experience a single ball and alot of wadding don't do to well. The case is quite dependant on the closure for compression at start up too in my experience.
I am not to sure about the .45 ball too, don't them combo guns 45/410 shoot the the 410 through a 45 barrel???
The single barrel job I keep pondering to but for slug some fancy work would be required to make some sights up.
No I ain't no qualified machinest but mostly a welder fabricator. I do learn pretty quick though and take full advantage when I get chance
