No problem
Thanks
Will wait for your PM
PS ;
Apparently discontinued ( according to Sierra site )
See how many US bullet makers currently list FMJ solids ...
The "Californicators" apparently feel it is better to "blow the animal up" with a soft point than kill it with a well placed solid
Perhaps FMJ has negative connotations ?
Still they did ban lead so now they will have to put up with copper -- monoliths

I have given a jackal a shot in the chest with my 223 and 55gr Vmax. It penetrates and kills very efficiently, but with no exit wound. Nosler make a 55gr in 6mm. Maybe you could try that.

You could also consider the Frontier Range Masters.
Monolithic meant for target shooting, but may be suitable for what you are trying to achieve.
