I once shot a raccoon with a .45 auto. 3 shots all in the thorax and he still fought my dog for a minute of two. The coon was not rabid and they were hardball but a .45 isn’t always magic either.

I suspect if they had been hollow points or even 9mm HPs, the coon would have expired sooner.

FMJ is for ranges.

My carry .380 has frangibles for everyday use.

Hail to the hollow point yarddog. Even my 22 LR are hollow. Why waist the ammo when one shot will do.
