I'm going through a learning curve on the best shot/chokes for fox hunting this year.
Surprising myself the No3 32gram loads at 1350 fps was still putting the pellets out to 70m and slamming through the corflute backing.

Re: Patterning the Shotgun out to 70 metres.
Not my load of choice by any means, 42gm BB's is my longer range load of choice for foxes.
I won't go for anything under 36gm #2 shot for foxes, Well down to 34gn #4 shot for flushing them out of blackberries at close range.

I'm soft and I don't care.

I think it's time you embraced Bob's suggestion of Hevi Shot. It's available here.

Need to keep camera on target after firing. I reckon heavy shot will bump me and its not the same load as bob recommends.
