Hello everyone!
I just recently bought a PTR-91 GI:
It is my pride and joy, and is also my only semi-automatic rifle. I plan on using this gun as my primary defense long gun, for the duties of home defense and property defense in the event that is necessary.
I am specifically wondering about what would be a good defensive load for my rifle for home defense? I know there are various loads out there like Hornady TAP, Speer Gold Dot, and Winchester PDX1 etc. etc; all in .308 but I am unsure as to which load I should choose. I live in a one bedroom apartment in a residential neighborhood, so penetration is a concern. Reliability is also a very big factor, and I need something that will run in my semi-automatic rifle.
What do you all recommend for a good .308 defense load from my 18" barrel PTR-91 rifle? If you could all help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated. I plan to be running this gun iron sights only and will have a bandolier next to the bed with four loaded 20 round magazines, plus the 20 in the rifle.
Thanks so much!!
