Also check your states laws on hunting ammo. Mine bans full metal jacket ammo for hunting, as it is more likely to pass through and leave a wounded animal. I use a 62 grain load I handload myself for hunting, but haven't had a chance to try it out. Winchester makes a 45 grain varmint load that claims to put out 3400 FPS, but came in at 3100 FPS in my rifle.
