Dead-Eyed Duck Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 243 with 55grain Winchester silver tips is the daddy of foxing. Fast flat and hard hitting I am pretty sure that it is, as will say any owners of a .308, 270 etc. I know that 'Dead is dead', but some will say that the above calibres (and 243) are overgunning for purely foxes. If you want a dual purpose gun for foxes and some species of deer I would agree, but as a purely fox gun then the 223 or 22.250 take some beating. The debate I am sure will rage on for years.

white van man Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Hi Chris, Hope you're OK will have to come in for a bacon roll sometime. Just to put a spanner in the works,I fancied a .204 and got a .223 didn't keep it long. Then got a .221 fireball reason is if I'm out foxing with this great flat shooting round and a Muntie presents itself I've got some dinner whereas a .204 isn't legal. I home load and it costs the same to make as a .17rimfire round to buy. If you want to try it sometime give me a shout. Cheers Steve.
