better check your state regulations on shooting fmj ammo at anything but paper targets,here in ky you cant hunt anything with them not even coyotes.You could get fined and your gear seized by the warden.....always go to a state sight and check dont ask other people about your states laws and you can get some better ammo for hunting.Soft point bullets work good for me in 223 and a lot of times dont exit the other shoulder on shoulder shots,hollow points do good but will rip fur if they exit,just find a bullet that shoots good in your gun and hunt with it and save the fmj's for target practice....
