I used 223 Remington FMJ bullets in my Weatherby Vanguard on Pa.
groudhog's, and unless it's a head shot, every one punch a hole through
the groundhog and got away.

IMHO FMJ are only good if you are going to save the hide, other then
that they are a wast of time and money.

Have fun and safe shooting.
