223 FMJ v 223 ballistic?

Added to that, I seem to remember that the Hague convention only applies to soldiers in time of war, so lets say SF were employed by the government for a domestic seige, then it wouldnt apply, and in theory they could use what they so wish.

I stand to be corrected on that though.

Surely the point of FMJ is to not be so likely to be lethal hence the requirement for their being used in military applications as per Hague convention? http://www1.umn.edu/...stree/1899f.htm

ha ha you get hit in the bonse with a 150 gn fmj itll be pleny lethal !!

Its not on using FMJ on foxes.

Pelt hunters are the only one with a case for using them at all.

 

 

I shoot for fur and wouldn't use FMJ's . Alot better options that are available. I love match grade Berger bullets. They expand routinely inside the chest cavity , almost never an entry hole. All you get is a pencil sized entry ,no exit, and completely destroyed vital organs. With a .223 you have to play around with loads for awhile to get that on fox sized animals, but it's doable. But because it is a challenge to get those results with a .223, that's why I stick with .20 caliber centerfires and smaller. Pretty simple from then on. But a FMJ's are a poor choice. To unreliable and inconsistent results.

FMJ in a field is a no ,no !! on hunting, as said above ...........eeeeeeeeeeeeeek !

if you miss a vital spot with a fmj then you stand a pretty good chance of the bullet passing straight through and just leaving a thin tunnel through the animal. it will possibly not be a killing shot, and even if it is then this may mean the animal running on further before bleeding out. stick with expanding imo
