[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1657548, member: 2736"] I would have to say that FMJs make poor hunting bullets especially in open country. The only place and time that they have been beneficial is while pelt hunting and on big hogs using 223 ammo. where I mostly hunt it is rocky and even though there are plenty of trees, I have heard ricocheting on several hunts, so I make sure of a good backstop for the stray bullets. In open country, on small game I would recommend a bullet that would destroy it's self on impact if pelts were not a consideration. Specialty bullets like tracers,FMJs and Armor piercing bullets should only be used when the terrain and the game can handle the down side of anything but a hunting bullet. NOTE: Even a well made hunting bullet can ricochet, so be mindful of your back stop and other animals and structures. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
