Just to increase my post count I’ll stay on topic with one word: MOABmick_762 wrote:Does that mean it now needs to be a sticky?

Back on topic however - FMJ for hunting of 4 legged "game species" are bad.
On a two way range - they are good, but better with a tungsten penetrator for bipedal game species.
Even betterer is the Hydra 70 or 70mm APKWS rockets supplied by an AH64D.

Re: FMJ
I wouldn't use it,reason being it is loaded to the hilt,inaccurate,will blank primers as well I wouldn't be surprised that the primers are corrosive,not that corrosive primers are a big deal if you clean promptly and treat them as corrosive.I am not going to start a fight whether they are good hunting projectiles or not,but if the projectile come apart at the canellure there is no doubt serious damage will be done.Far safer to get some mainstream soft points.

Hey, Trev and I are always in agreement, I say he is a dickhead and he agrees with me, easy He just doesn't know that good spelling is also a part of good grammar.

Re: FMJ
Recently changed over to osa, which have a sierra 55 grain game king(resighted the scope for them) as the main cartridge I plan using the most.
Claim they do 3220 ft per sec, which im pretty sure im not getting due to the fact the remmy has a short (20 inch) barrel.
Merely considering another way I could source a cheaper round should I take someone else with me the range.
I have also looked at the Hornady 50rd steel match box which i order for about $35 plus freight.

Re: FMJ
I'm using either both the Aussie brands but found the OSA/BlitzKings to shoot best. They are generally well priced against the other brands.Keachie wrote: ↑Sat Nov 18, 2017 9:17 am Recently changed over to osa, which have a sierra 55 grain game king(resighted the scope for them) as the main cartridge I plan using the most.

If you can get a 200 round pack the pricing improves. Plus you get a supply of brass for reloading.
Oh, OSA or Buffalo River shoot the same POI in my rifle. I like that.
