im shooting 55 gr ballistic tips out of my 223. badgers and coyotes have shown a pinhole in with no exit. foxes are too frail to stop them though, and the exit hole was enormous. i have no idea what speed they are zipping at....charts say around 3100 fps, but i dont have a chrony. hide damage was a factor in my choice of 223 over 22-250. that and i plan on shooting till the barrel melts right off, and a 223 will last a little longer.
