I've found that my .223 really causes a lot of damage on fox so I only
Go for headshots lol. If I shoot em in the body I spend lots of time repairing
pelts! I just put a new scope on my Savage 340 in .222 hope to work on
a load to be able to take body shots and put more fur down!

LOL, even my deleted comment still hijacked the thread.  I ended up sending a PM to Csky about .222 recipes for my Savage 340.

I heard the load aims, kills, skins, and stretches all by itself.
