fox - any thoughts

Any thoughts as to what caused this wound? Fighting? Bullet?

Looks similar to a pic in one of Robert Bucknalls books but I couldn't see a crease or ridge to suggest a rifle round.

Anyway whatever did it didn't kill him, but 100 grain from a 243 eventually did!

Terrier? Might have been dug recently, looks like a few bite marks on the muzzle as well in the pic
 
Thanks for the comments gents. He was a touch bitten up round the muzzle, but again that could come from fighting. They're not for leaving much to ground round that way but you never know
 
he's been rattling his head off a rock or root etc during an altercation with a terrier would be my guess
