Sorry for the questions about 223 ammo for defense. I think it would help if I clarify what I my requirements are.
The gun involved would be a 16" AR carbine. The purpose of the load would be short range defense (i.e., in a home and on the farm). I guess I could think of a scenario where I might need to defend myself against someone further than 50 yards but it would be a stretch.
There are other family members around, so I would like a load that will not penetrate through multiple walls if possible. I don't plan on needing to shoot through cover or concealment, nor would I anticipate armored opponents.
So to summarize the parameters:
1. Defense load against un-armored human bad guys.
2. Minimize penetration to avoid collateral damage, and no requirement to defeat barriers.
3. No need for long shots.
4. Cost per round is unimportant, I am not planning on stockpiling this.
I like the looks of the Winchester PDX 1 60g HP.
Also considering a Hornday 55g TAP polymer tip.
How about M193?
What about a non fancy soft point like Winchester Power Point?
Thanks
