I saw these 22 super maximum rounds made by aguila and they have a 30gr coppered lead bullet with a velocity of 1750 fps and 204ft lbs, would these be a good idea for a defense pistol or rifle if the 223 isn't around?

For a defensive .22 I say go for the Triton Quick Shok.

As a rule, faster, lighter rounds tend to have fast expansion/fragmentation but little penetration, compared to slower, heavier bullets of similar construction.

I'd go with 40gr. Winchester Super-X Power Points or the Quik-Shoks.

I've tried those Aquila Super Maximum rounds and had a lot of duds in my particular brick. Though they list the velocity as 1750 fps, real World numbers will probably be less. I agree with Troy, a high velocity full weight (40 grn.) bullet would be better. Maybe the new CCI Velocitor might fit the bill?

I don't believe Triton makes the Quik- shok in .22, but I have used these. They are not very accurate in my guns, but if you connect on a small animal, like a squirrel, they are absolutely devastating. I can't recommend they for defensive use due to the fact they penetrate very poorly.

If you're going to use a 22LR, Remember to use lots of grease on the outside of the gun.

It won't hurt as much when the Goblin shoves it up your ass after you shoot him with it.
