[QUOTE="redneckbmxer24, post: 3039264, member: 11459"] That's not a fair comparison at all. There's a vast difference in the wound channel and lethality of a match bullet even if it starts fragmenting instantly vs an FMJ even if it tumbles which is the best case scenario. Unless that FMJ is .5" or **** close to it I'll take the match bullet every time if I want something to die. I'll even take a SMK that in my experience it one of the worst performing match bullets as far as terminal performance because at least it will usually expand or fragment 50% of the time. FMJ's have no business being shot at anything but a steel plate or paper in applications where accuracy isn't paramount. I wouldn't even use them for hunting groundhogs because I'm had more of them crawl away with 55gr FMJ's than 22LR with hollow points. [/QUOTE]
