Common questions
Yes. We hold the Fox Classic Hunter range in stock here in the UK and dispatch by tracked courier, so there is no importing, no customs charge and no waiting on an international parcel. Boxes of 50 projectiles, flat-rate delivery of £7.00 per order, UK addresses only.
Fox Bullets are manufactured in Slovenia and are not sold direct to customers in the UK, so a UK stockist is the practical route. We buy in the Classic Hunter range and ship it domestically, which means you order at a UK price and it arrives on a UK courier.
The Classic Hunter range in 6mm (.243), 6.5mm (.264), .270 (.277) and .30 (.308), from 80 grain up to 165 grain. Each calibre page lists the weights available in it, with ballistic coefficient and bullet length where the manufacturer publishes them.
No. We sell projectiles only: no powder, primers, cases or loaded ammunition. These are components for home loading.
Orders are picked and dispatched within one to three working days and sent on a tracked courier service, so most orders arrive within a week of ordering. Your card is only charged when the order is dispatched.
About Fox Bullets
Background
Fox Classic Hunter bullets have been produced by a family business in Slovenia for over 10 years. As a European company, Fox have first hand experience of roe, fallow and red deer, the most commonly hunted deer species in the UK. Fox have therefore developed bullets specifically designed for European deer, rather than American deer that typically have thicker hides and are bigger bodied.
Both Tom and Harry from The Deercast have been exclusively using Fox Bullets on red, fallow, roe, muntjac and Chinese water deer since 2022 and have never looked back. Fox Bullets have also been used by Forestry England as their preferred lead free bullet.
Technical details
Fox Classic Hunter bullets are lead free and are made from a copper-zinc alloy (CuZn10). Copper-zinc alloy bullets offer several advantages over solid copper bullets; firstly, the alloy is harder and stronger than pure copper. This increased hardness helps the bullet better retain its shape during firing and at high velocities, leading to improved consistency and better accuracy. Secondly, the hardness of the alloy reduces friction and barrel fouling.
Cut into the shank of each bullet are grooves designed to reduce the contact surface between the bullet and the rifle barrel, reducing pressure and increasing speed.
Expansion is key to success with any rifle bullet. Unlike many other lead free alternatives, Fox Classic Hunter bullets are constructed using materials that are designed to expand. The degree of deformation is determined by the depth of the hole at the top of the bullet (the meplat). At the tip of the Fox Classic Hunter bullet is a black thermo-stable plastic tip that increases ballistic performance.
