Which fox pro model do you have?
As far as blowing pelts out, it all depends on the shot itself, not so much the distance (although closer is obviously going do to some more damage) … If its a clean shot you will do minimal damage regardless of caliber … If you put it threw the shoulder the exit is going to be blown out, and you chance not being able to repair it. The bullet itself and load has a lot to do with it also … I wont shoot any “varmit” or ballistic tips/hollow points because they cause a lot of damage. Out of my .223 I shoot remington 55gr. core locks (soft point) …
