Fox, coyote, wolverine, lynx & Wolves. The 55 grain FMJ is a little easier on fur. My main gun is a Rem 700 heavy barrel .22-250, but when stowed in a gun boot on a snowmobile is slow to deploy. The idea is to have the 16inch AR-15 on a three pt sling, while riding, for quick shooting.
Have I had to chance to shoot a wolverine or lynx?...not yet. One can only hope.

I like FMJ for varmint. I loaded some 90 grain HP for my 270 once. I was using 22LR for coyotes. Fortunately, I decided to try is out on a big Jack. It seemed, just before I touched off the round, there was a 10 ft gray radius where the jack was. I went over, there was his head, small part of the spinal cord, another small piece of spinal cord and his duster.
Also Shot gun works too. For short distance quick shots, try a shot gun.
