will only be used for fox

If you have to use 75 g bullets , then the v140 route works out cheaper in the long run , as it uses around 25 % less powder for negligible speed difference.
At shorter (sub 200yard) ranges this would work well.

Myself, if fox is the target , and you want to reach  out further , 58g vmax would be my choice , much flatter trajectory, less guesswork on holdover, and devastating on charlie at 3400 fps.
Downside is more powder at 39 gn of 140 , and slightly increased barrel wear, but unless youre shooting one every 2 minutes , not worth thinking about.
