I remember an article in the local paper about two kids who shot a deer over twenty times with .303 British FMJ.'s. Not only was it not legal to use FMJ's on game in Virginia, they were also hunting on posted property. FMJ's have killed plenty of game, just as they have killed a lot of soldiers, but remember that the design was a "humane" development. The Geneva Convention was shocked :eek: by the idea that someone might die in a war.
As to the Russian round and gun, as long as you use softpoints and know where the bullet will land when you look over the sights, you should do fine. The Russian guns aren't much for looks, but they do something much more important, they work. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of a model 38 myself. I am a little too old to be dragging a permanently mounted bayonet or a 29 inch barrel around the hills and valleys.
