I'm in total agreement with you Oldtimr but because of the way it is written it could be construed as a conflict of the regs. I realize ignorance of the law is no excuse and I don't see any sensible hunter going out with a FMJ saboted bullet for big game. But there are those that aren't sensible and just might do something that stupid.
