    Hey there, when I seen the calibre mentioned above I had to ask if the 303 is mainly a target round or can it be used as a hunting round also? The reason I ask is because I know a guy that bought one a few months ago for primarily foxing with, seemed a bit bizarre to me at the time and still does:confused:
    Cheers, Kay 9...

    There's hunting ammo available from Federal, but it'd be deer-oriented, rather than foxing. It'll kill foxes, no bother, but I'd hardly think of it as a foxing round.

    I thought the same, very heavy round for just a fox round.

    I'd be careful saying anything is too much or we'll have people like that gob****e who was on primetime telling us .223 is too powerful for deer hunting again - it's a military round don't you know!
