Overtime I have acquired a large number of .223 ammo in Federal Power-shok 50 grain hollow-point and Monarch (brass) 55 grain soft-point. These were bought when I mainly was shooting a Ruger Mini-14 for varmints. However, I recently purchased an AR-15 for recreation and more serious issues if they ever arise.
My concern is this:
Are these hollow-point and soft-point rounds of any use in terms of self-protection or defense? I assume that they will not have the penetration of a fmj. But, are they useless for the indicated purposes and should be left to varmint hunting?
Thanks
