Snuffy - yeah that's the new bullet if you can find it. It's similar to the Nosler Partition, but up front it's more of a varmit bullet followed by the core. Sounds interesting.

For those that have a 16" carbine, the NATO MK318 mod 0 is legal for hunting as it's not FMJ and has a steel penetrator. CTD sells 2nds from Federal (military and civilian) and BVAC from .60 to .75 a round. Ugly ammo from reviews, but those who've tried it like it for hogs and deer.

As stated in an earlier post, Dogtown is the brand name that Midway gives their own bullets manufactured by someone else. If you look at their website, they are not specifically called out for only varmint hunting.
