Not legal in BC either, you should read the regs!
Page 17 of this years regs, second item listed under "Legal Hunting Methods" then "firearms"
- It is unlawful to hunt or trap with a rifle using a full metal jacketed non-expanding bullet, or a tracer, incendiary, or explosive bullet.
FYI, aside from some of the new dangerous game "expanding" which are actually expanding monolithic bullets, traditional "dangerous game solids" are exactly what they are referring to (and I underlined/bolded), fully jacketed non-expanding bullets.

yup! you probably did the equivalent when you were first learning about the shooting sport...just likely a different forum than online forums.
however, if you like, I can pm you directly!

I want to try some Woodleigh Hydrostatic bullets. Non-expanding solid but it's supposed to cause serious cavitation due to the shape of the nose.

which is why I asked!
dgx are not that good. if you want a bonded bullet try woodleigh or aframe ...
Actually, they're legal in Ontario, just a dumb idea. I carry two in my pocket as finishers so I can administer a coup de grace without making a bloody mess.

You do realize that you just provided a factual example of Ontario being an example of common sense with regard to firearms and hunting?

I suppose if you had the time and money you might succeed in court. The real question is, do mono bullets have more in common with cast bullets of traditional cup-and-core bullets? I wonder what the wording of the section in the Wildlife Act is. If it said "full metal jacket" there would be an argument for a mono solid not being an FMJ.
I often load 500gr winchester solids in my 458wm or for one barrel of my 4570 sxs. I use them if i need to follow up on a bear in my 458 if im carrying it and when i carry the sxs for baiting i generally keep a solid in one barrel and an expanding in the other
It says "full metal jacketed non-expanding".
Also interesting is the handgun Section "a firearm that is designed, altered or intended to be aimed and fired by the action of one hand or that has a barrel less than 305 mm in length".
Now the BFR is designed and intended to be fired two handed. Since I watched Law and Order, my interpretation of this is that a BFR with a 306mm barrel would be legal to hunt with in BC.
