I know the 5.56 in lighter bullet weights is a popular HD choice, largely due to the bullet fragmenting. Trumps a handgun round (but not a shotgun with buckshot) for one shot stop potential, without the handgun rounds tendency to over penetrate.
How about 5.45x39 with its tendency not to fragment? Will these likely over penetrate, or are they also a fine HD choice?
I ask because I've got a 5.45 Tantal on the way, just wondering if I should also have a 5.56 in the stable. If 5.56 is absolutely a better HD round, that's a big consideration.
