VS, the 35 may work pretty well on fox, but only for shorter shots of 125 yards or less. Beyond that, it slows down like a ping-pong ball.

You might even try some of my Bee-equivalent loads. In the 223, try 13.0 of Blue Dot under those 35s. You should get right at 3,000 fps with low blast. That's the speed this bullet is designed for, so you should get optimum performance.
