I loaded a soft point in the chamber and had the magazine stuffed with 300 grain solids in case he charged after the first shot.

I hope to shoot another fox at some point with my .375 H&H so that I can compare the two rounds on game other than cape buffalo. The Ruger works nicely on buffalo, and I am happy to report that it is entirely adequate for red fox.
