That said, I was hitting them in the body, head shots would likely be a different story.

i have about 600 rounds that are fmj and LOVE shooting them, i look for rabbits during the day when we are just sitting around camp (never actually found one though), we sometimes set up pop cans, like 10 in a row and see who can knock over them the fastes with 10 rounds, there are not useless, just only shoot an animal if your close enough to get a head shot or have a shooting competition with the guys around camp.
people always say I'm a trigger happy 16 year old and my dad and uncles don't always enjoy
can after can but i say i got 600 rounds of fmj 22lr so why not!
Why wouldn't you shoot a gopher or chicken with an fmj bullet? Deer, moose and the like i can see but a small animal like that?
