I wouldn't bet on a 77 grain MK expanding so you're truly asking whether a .22 cal FMJ will "anchor." I'd say not reliably. It will kill .. eventually .. but without breaking major bones, you probably won't find them where you shot them, they'll run a ways before leaking enough to run out of oxygen to the brain. I would say the inexpensive option is the Hornady 55 or 60 grain soft point. Otherwise 60 grain VMAX or Ballistic tip.

Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip.

Here be dragons ...
