Be careful with high velocity rounds against pins, I've seen shots come
right
back at you.
Bowling pin shooters (its a handgun sport) use flat-pointed, heavy rounds to
'smack' the pins back off the table. I can't reccomend any FMJ round for
this
sport, use a soft-point round (like the Wolf 7.62 x 39) if you must use a
rifle
for a handgun sport!

My favorite thing to shoot at is bowling ball pins. Most things I shoot at
with my SKS don't hold up well after a few clips are emptied into it; they
tend to disintegrate and fall apart. But I bought a case of used bowling
ball pins.....
Because of the semiflexible (and thick) plastic coating around the wooden
pin, they tend to stay intact even after many clips have been emptied into
them. MOST fun is to install an eyebolt into the top of the pin and hang on a wire stretched horizontally between two trees.
Then you truely have
the
carnival midway effect of hitting the pin and it spins
around on the wire.
Loads of fun :)
