85 grain Sierra BTHP, IMR 4350, 22" Tikka, about 3,000 f/s - great predator bullet, very accurate. Most of my shots are under 200 yards.

58 Vmax with H380 Remington brass and CCI primer about 3650 fps.

Have any of you guys found a bullet (6mm/.224) that would stay inside a "fox" somewhat consistently out to 300/400 yd at high velocity ?
I haven't, but haven't tried a lot of different bullets/loads.

Sorry, but I have to ask: What is a home load?

Not much to the Hide, hair or body of a Fox. I used to trap a lot of them and it take much to kill them. After seeing them with out the hide, they are not very big. It would be hard to keep a bullet from exiting. Matt

That's why they make the 17 Remington

 

[dkhunt14]

Hard to shoot that 17 cal 25 grain bullet out a 243. LOL Matt

 

[6xcshooter]

45GR of varget with 55gr sierra blitz king at 4000fps. that ought to blow a fox into 20 pieces.

 

[22DASHER]

I have shot a few fox with a 243 and I will never do it again. Mine were shot with 55 grain ballistic tips and 70 grain Sierras. They looked like spaghetti....

 

[boltfluter]

I have shot a few with my .300 Win. Mag. and the 175 Sierra Match. 30 cal hole in and out. Only gun to not blow them to pieces. I would try a Berger 105 VLD in your .243 and avoid shoulder bones to minimize expansion. Good luck.
