The only way those 32 gr. wont blow fur is if you load them down to hornet velocities.A solid bullet like sierra match reduces exit size on lung shots to quarter size on average.Ive killed a boatload of fox with 243 85 gr. sierra match hpbt with medium exits as long as you dont hit major bone.If you want fur friendly fox rounds you have to slow them down or according to some,17 cal 20 gr. 4200 fps. for no exit.I have no expierience with that one.For 150 yd.coyote and fox at any range you can hit them I think the 17 hornet would be alove affair.I love my 17 rem's. with the right bullet they are the most fur friendly deadly load ive ever used.You just have to hit them right.If you cant shoot use a heavier bullet and learn to sow fox.For fox slow nonfragile bullet is the ticket unless the super fast 20gr. really dosnt exit which I am going to test this summer.
