It would depend on what you are hunting. For deer you can't use FMJ. SO if you are hinting deer there are a few you can use, like winchester, brown bear, or sellier&bellot.

I don't like FMC for critters, full metal case bullets can over penetrate, and they do not create the larger wound channels caused by bullets that flower open. This is the reason the Geneva convention prohibits the use of hollowpoint ammo in military firearms. I would want a nice hollowpoint or soft point hunting bullet, I have not checked availability for the Mosin lately, but you can't go wrong with one of the offerings from Hornady, Norma, Remington, Winchester, or Federal.
