A 22lr will do a fox in but only pretty close. The 22wmr is pretty expensive to feed. I had a few shots of a Lithgow 22wmr last weekend and it shot well with hornady 40gn but poorly with the hornady 30gn.
Yes, for foxes I recon a 22lr is only reliable for up to about 40 meters or so. I shot a rabbit side on a few weeks ago in the chest using winchester bushman at about 35 meters and the projectile was sitting under the skin on the opposite side, so fox at 40 meters in the chest is about the max. ( heads shots a bit further I guess) Thats why I got a 223.
As G says you can down load a 222 or 223. I have a load for mine that is about equal to a 22 Hornet for when the need arises. Some blokes cast their own and load back to about 22 wmr.
