Default RE: .243win bullet for fox

the 58grain hornady wont help you,they travel at close to 3800fps and we all know that high velocity and light bullets can cause a big blow up even on an animal as small as a fox,I've killed one coyote with these and it was a mess.A head shot would save a lot of fur but ther wont be much left from the neck up.Good luck P.S.if you reload you may be able to down load the 243 but be careful not to go to slow there is the possibility of getting a bullet stuck in your barrel and this could be a disaster if you didnt realize that it stuck and shot the gun again use a reloading manual and the smallest possible load reccomendations to be safe.
