Favourite foxing calibre

[grosin]

22-250 a brilliant foxing calibre with either 50 or 55gn v max.
I also have had good results with my 2506 75 v max and 270 110 v max.
Pin point accuracy and explosive results.

.243 with 58 grn V-Max. It just works

There's someone using that on a neighbour's farm. The dead fox that I found on my place last summer must have been hit from over 300 yrds.

223 for me, cheap accurate ammo. Easy see the shot and not too loud

Ha, you hypocrite!

223 for the closer ones or lamp, 243 for the summer evenings looking across valleys. If I had to choose it would be the 243.

I like my 243 also, good in the wind and hits hard

As a side note, I often see that people like their particular bullet because they have never had a Fox move a step after being hit? Is this due to shooting a reletivly low number of foxes? I have had well hit foxes run or alive after being hit with .17hmr, .22lr, .22 hornet, .222, .223, .22/250, .243, 6.5 creed, 6.5x284, 7x57, .308, .300 win mag. And with bullets from amax, vmax, seirra, Berger, ect. You get my point. I have have had the odd runner with literally every combination I have tried, probably only 1-2% of foxes that are hit well but this still accounts to several every year.

Great reply ....I've hit foxes with ( not as many calibres as above) .17hmr, 204 ,243,
7mm-08 & 308 and I've had runners off all of them , but of all the rounds the .204 is hands down the best .
I've shot many hundreds of foxes with it and most shots with it are dead before the recoil
