So I have access to land to hunt in Kentucky, had a great time there during the gun season.
One of the things that intrigued me about KY is that their gun season for "Modern Firearms" means that you can use most any gun or rifle, any caliber.
I got a chance to hunt with my 30-30, which was cool. I was also going to hunt with my Mosin Nagant, but the KY rules say "no FMJ ammunition".
All of the ammo I have for that is currently FMJ surplus ammo. I have the 7.62x54R dies, so I can work up a load that's not FMJ this year, no problem.
But here's my question: Would a copper solid bullet (hollow point) be considered full metal jacket (FMJ)? I'm thinking it would.
I'm researching reloading for my new 450 Bushmaster, got the dies and some 250gr Hornady bullets on order. But the bullets are shitty expensive ($35 for 50) and I been looking at other options, one thing I saw on Youtube was for a copper solid.
