Hunt with FMJ 45 ACP?

[Shakey]

My adventures with rabbits and hardball mimic Lange1a pretty closely. I was more than surprised to see cottontails shot through the lungs with hardball were not only NOT knocked off their feet but could muster a pretty good run before laying down.

Post mortems showed hardly any tissue damage at all. Apparently, that round nose would simply rather part tissue than cut it. Wadcutters however were another matter completely and cut meat just like they are supposed to.

Yep, hardball is terrible on game, even the smallest.

I shot a rabbit with a large meplat 280 gr btb wfn at 1470 fps. Entire chest cavity was gone. Definetely more damage than hardball. Shot one with a barnes 250 and tore it in half. Easy gutting job on both
