I'm either going to get an AR15 carbine or Marlin .357 Magnum levergun for home defense. I'm not asking about the platforms, though, but calibers.
Which round has better terminal performance? Which one is more likely to stop the threat, assuming both are high quality hollow points or ballistic tip?
Over-penetration is not a concern for me.
I know most would recommend a 12 gauge shotgun for home defense, but for reason I don't want to get into I can't use that. This thread is about 5.56/.223 JHP vs .357 out of a carbine.
