[QUOTE="DayDay, post: 5011337, member: 9643"] The prohibition of full metal jacketed ammunition noted in the TWRA hunting guide only references rifles and handguns and in the table in the guide, it is only mentioned with regard to centerfire ammunition. Also, "Rifles or handguns with full metal jacketed ammunitions" are noted in the list of prohibited use or possession items. The shotgun reference says "single solid ball or slug" for deer. That could change if TWRA decides it is an issue and needs to be addressed. I'd guess that the TWRA would not want to restrict their use as they are better for the environment, would be deadly on deer, and have limited range compared to rifles. I wonder if the steel slugs would be better in case a twig or small branch gets in the way of a shot. They are supposedly more accurate than many lead slugs but I don't know. [/QUOTE]
