Dunno if anyone here has gone out of state and shot fox, coyote, raccoon, etc with an AR57 or PS90 with the blue tip hp sporter round made by FN. Just thought I'd ask. I'm wondering if its a good fox/coyote combo round. Has more power than a .17 hmr and .22 mag, but not as heavy as a .223, and is apparently frangible. It's something like 2100fps with a bit over 300ftlbs, 40 grain bullet, from 16" barrel. Round is very good to 100yds, and can still make 200yds, but is pushing it ( wind will really upset it I'm sure). Ammo is hard to get right now, but thinking of next season if MD doesn't get stupid and ban these type guns. 10 rd mag for hunting though is ok lol, but should be MY choice, not some sleazy politician's. Target shooting all the time can get boring, I want to hunt with EBR's too.
