I use the Eley Alphamax no. 4.

I also use RC Camo 37g no. 4.......another very good cartridge at a reasonable price.

I use Eley Alphamax:D

when goin doing covers witht the gun club i usually have a 42g 4 light magnum in the first barrel and a bb or AAA in the second.. but the 42g 4s usually do the job

Hi guys,
I have being shooting foxes for twenty years and tried all the heavy cartridges out there.The best I have ever used is the eley alphamax BB 36 grams with the White paper cover on the ends.never fails to do serious damage!!!

as above ^

I use them in the semi with a turkey choke... great combination. Holds a great pattern at 50 yards.

Had a box of them for years (shows how much foxing I do).

They kill them quick and they always stayed dead for me.

Nearly knocked a tooth out with a snapshot one day. Was worth it.

Bought that box in Cobbe's Rod and Gun. Long gone now.

Can you still get the Eley BB 36gr with the paper ends?

36 g saga no2 shot I find the 4 often need a follow up shot.

Havent seen them in a long time , The load is still available but as far as I know theyve changed the design of the cartridge.

Remington 50grm 0's through a full extended choke I have found excellent! Serious killing cartridge. You can get these in higher numbers as well for the closer foxes.

Some good suggestions. I use Alpha Max 4's

However, as a side note, it baffles me the amount of lads that think they can knock a fox at 80+ yds with a shotgun and they try!!.....:eek::eek:

Theyre usually the same boys that shoot ducks 100 yards overhead , or a pheasant touching 90 yards with a gale force wind behind his tail :rolleyes:

Yeah that is a bit much alright!!!!
I get hard to get them with the rifle at 80ðŸ˜႒ Had one of my best shots last week,hit the fox at just under 50 yards with BB's,knocked him with the first and finished with the second!!!
