I’ve read many times that for small game hunting with a .38/.357 revolver, perhaps the best ammunition to use is a lightly-loaded, lead semi-wadcutter, maybe in the 700-750 fps range. My question is this though: wouldn’t a downloaded FMJ be just as good? I mean, we’re talking about a rabbit or squirrel here. One reason supporting the LSWC argument might be that the FMJ would pass right thru the animal, cleanly, w/o causing enough trauma to immediately put it down, giving it time to scamper away into its hidey-hole. What are the reasons favoring the SWC over the FMJ? The FMJ over the SWC?? Thanx in advance
