No FMJ's?

I've been thinking about trying the Sierra 90 gr FMJ BT to just over 3000 fps. So long as I don't hit solid bone that shouldn't leave much of an exit hole should it? If my gun likes those bullets as much as it likes the 85 gr HPBT at about 3100 fps I'd be good out to 300 yds.

I would think that any good quality FMJ would work well. It will most likely exit but it would be a "key-hole" at worst, nothing explosive.

They are pretty tough. Not to be macabre but look at the "magic bullet" from the Kennedy assassination. It passed through parts of a human body 3 times and entered a 4th time with essentially no damage at all.
