Soloxcam,
Post your question in the Archery Gear Forum. Alot of guys shoot them and you'll get more feedback there.
They are very expensive. I'm not sure they're worth all that.

This is a quility aluminum/carbon hunting arrow. The only negatives are the cost and weight. I shoot Easton's XX 78 Super Slams in 2514 with a weight of 4 grams more then the FMJ at 1/2 the cost.

RE: Full Metal Jackets
They are a very solid performing arrow. I shoot the ACC's as well but decided to go the FMJ's for the new bow and they haven't disappointed. Pull out of targets easier and seem to pack more of a punch even with shooting the same setup than the ACC's. Pricey yes but, to me, they instill extra confidence at the moment of truth and for target shooting.
Here are a couple I fletched myself.

If you're talking about FMJ Bullets, they are illegal for hunting in FL.

RE: Full Metal Jackets
"They're federally illegal to shoot period I beleive. And why would you use a FMJ for hunting? It would just go in and out of the game, no mushroom effect. FMJ ammo is meant for anti-armor purposes."
There is no federal law prohibiting FMJ bullets. There is that feel good law that prevents the sale of some military armor piercing rounds, called SLAP rounds.You should see whatthe 55 grain bullet from an M193 .223/5.56mm round does to a deer, hog or coyote at ranges less than 150 yards.
Here is a link that will show you just how the 55 grain FMJ military bullet breaks up. Even if the aim is a little off, often a piece of the bullet will shred the heart or liver of an animal.
