thanks for the reply! why no? Too little penetration? I'm worried about over penetration. Is 55 gr. fmj still the best?

I think 55gr fmjbt w/c is an outstanding defensive round. I would be interested to see how the frangible ammo would do in a gel test. It's not designed for defense, but I would guess it would leave a nasty but shallow wound.

Best? No, but it's not too shabby. The current best performers are the 75gr Hornady and 77gr Nosler. |
