This isn't my idea, I've always used the V-Max, BlitzKing, SXSP, etc.. for dogging. The clerk at the Western outdoor store said he uses whatever's cheapest, often FMJ 223 Ammo.
My main reasons are ricochet potential & doggy gymnastics, maybe humane factors too. I've never cared if it cost just a bit more, easy to find bullets on clearance for reloading.
I do see cattle & buffalo at times, possibly other shooters 2 miles away setup. For the most part I consider my V-Max destroyed once it scrapes the prairie floor, or a doggy. Still not license for shooting in an unsafe direction.
Anyhow, do you see people using FMJ bullets? I don't plan to waiver to save just the small percentage of savings. I think this clerk was wrong with the advice, though certain circumstances the FMJ would be doable.
