42g BBs???? that a bit of a load for the poor little foxies....a standard load of No.2s is enough with a 1& 1 / 8th Oz payload....even 3s or 4s or whatever is in the chamber!!

I hear ya... go hard or go home hey ;)

My thought are yes, hit them with the most, but at the same time I usually flush out a fox when chasing bunnies, which I dont normally shoot with bigger than 7s or 6s...
