    For little pests, something going fast and explosive to limit ricochets - ammo that features V-Max 53gr or Sierra Blitzking 55gr would be nice.
    For goats and deer, any good old exposed lead tips will do or Barnes TTSX 55gr which are in the Sako ammo I think?

    Don't need to go heavy and certainly not FMJ on the farm. Again, danger of something sturdy bouncing off dry dirt and ending somewhere where it shouldn't be is pretty bad.
