This is what he just sent me ,so i posted it for all to know his answer.
Billy, thanks for your message. Simple answer is, as a guy that used to trap for a living, I still stretch and sell furs. I usually use a 40 grain Vmax but on the thinner furred critters in Texas I wanted less pelt damage. Not one of the animals made it over thirty yards from where it was shot and none were lost. Additionally, In the thick brush or tall grass often found in Texas, an FMJ doesn't come apart if you have to shoot through some of it to get to the animal your shooting at. Good hunting. Fred
