No, the regs say the bullets must be of expanding construction. FMJ is not. Toss up if match hollow point ammo would be legit.
Yeah, after reading the guide many times, I finally found it. Somehow I kept missing these couple of lines. It says:
"Except in Dorchester County where #1 buckshot or larger may be used, firearms used for deer hunting may only shoot one all-lead, lead alloy, or copper soft-nosed or expanding bullet or ball. Sabots are permitted. Non-expanding full metal-jacketed, incendiary and tracer bullets are not permitted."
So the argument has been settled.
I've got another question. Would the lead bullet tarnish the meat, since, as I understand, lead bullet would explode upon hitting a deer? How do people deal with that?
