What loads would y'all recommend for self defense in .223 ?
I was thinking along the lines of a 55 grain GMX or 73 grain critical defense.
How well would a 55 grain GMX preform ?
First off... my apologizes for side tracking your thread.
What barrel length ? Is your rifle chambered in .223 ? or a true 5.56 chamber ? ( The difference being the greater amount of freebore / leade in a 5.56 chamber )
Are you looking for a Blind Barrier round or a soft skinned round ?
Here is a link to the current Hornady LEO line up.
Ballistic gel shots for all the FBI barriers.
The link might help your Hornady choices.
