I am not sure, but I imagine the noise would scare them off, I would stick with a soft poly camo jacket.   :chuckle:

When I get the 50 cal mounted on the top of my garage, I'll let you know.  I figure if I can blast at a mile or so away, I might be able to thin these *censored*s down.

It's legal, but they whistle right on through with mot much internal damage. Soft points or hollow points are much better IMO.

They work great in my experience both in 22 and 6mm caliber.  Never lost a dog yet hit with a FMJ.  Not as good as an expanding, but they kill just fine.

I used to use'em on yotes back home in Montana with my'06, they didn't get far and very little hide damage.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
