I have been running 40 grn V-Maxs for foxes in my 204 for a lot of years getting pushed along by 25.7 grns BM 2 with great success....No idea how fast they are going...All i know is when something gets hit with it, it dies......cant ask for much more than that....

As a pro roo shooters rifle, it outshines both the .223 and 22/250 without any question. If you need to shoot out to 200m . And I have both of those.
It will do the same as a fox rifle.
