I have a 223 and I was thinking of reloading some Nosler partions what are your thoughts. I was thinking of using them next year in fox season

I compare reloading 223, the best I have came up with is with a 40 Gr. jacket Spitzer or V max still pushing out close to 3500 F.P.S.  Bullet Energy of 1088 Approx Distance  3500 Yrds. depend on Barrel Length (Avg.  20" )

BullDog,  Every time that you hit a Fox w/that load you will wind up w/at least 2 Fox.  Dick

Jake,  I don't understand what you were saying about " the best that you could do...close to 3500 fps".  Hornady #8 has 7 powders w/22 loads over 3500 fps and 13 loads over 3600.  Nosler #7 has 7 powders and21 loads over 3600.  Any one of which w/a 40 gr. V-max will destroy a Fox.  Dick
