         As an ex target shooter the facts are IE;

           A .303 can be  leathal at 3 MILES

           A .22 can be leathal at 1 mile

                     

          This is a fact;;;;;;;;;;;;

Wether one would be legally allowed to use a .303 at foxes is debateable. Usually a rifle of that calibre would say on your FAC ticket what it woould be used for.

 

              The .303 would be over the top for foxes in my opinion,

                    A question was asked in  an American SHOOTING magazine. Would an Eglish .303 be ok to use on big antilopes?  The answer was given by there expert,and he said . ` The british .303 is good enough and powerful enough for all  game , except for the bigest game.

 

 

          Ihope the information has shed some light on the matter.

There was a story on another website a while back about a guy who was out shooting his .22lr on a hill,he took a shot up hill at a rabbit and missed,there was no safe backstop behind the rabbit so the bullet traveled on and killed a guy rideing a pushbike a mile away on the other side of the hill.Apparently the hill mirriored the trajectory of the .22lr bullet,ie the bullet traveled up over the brow of the hill and then started to drop away on the same angle as the gradient of the slope on the other side and the por guy on the pushbike was in its path.Itsa frightning story and one that allways makes me think and make certin on safe backstops etc when im out and about
