So if you're target isn't immediate on the other side of the barrier m193 is better.

You are incorrect about the pressure rating. The difference is in the the throat design and length. The 5.56 chamber has a longer throat to accommodate special military ammo. The .223 throat is designed for typical hunting bullet profiles. Shorter throats also usually mean the barrel has a higher likelihood of being more accurate. The .223 Wylie is another throat design that works with all the military ammo and offers better accuracy when shooting .223 in it.

Additional info: -55 Gr 5.56 FMJ fragments, tumbles and/or yaws when hitting a liquid target (bad guy) starting around 2500 fps. You can achieve this with short barrels like 10.5", but longer barrels get even better velocity. 16" barrels are guaranteed to be devastating. Long barrels turn practice FMJ into home defense rounds. -if you run shorter barrels, look into 77gr BTHP from Black Hills or Frontier. Those fragment at lower velocity, pack a mean punch and are very accurate. They're more costly but are more consistent with energy transfer from shorter barrels. - a 5.56 that fragments is very unlikely to hit someone behind the target with lethal force but can still be a concern. This is the case with any bullet worth it's weight in self defense application. You must always be cognizant of what is beyond your target, no matter the platform.

2:12 ... The polymer tip doesn't aid in expansion. It's to improve the ballistic performance as the round travels through air (a properly formed bullet is better in the air than one with an exposed hollow point). Also, frangible ammunition can have penetration issues, as well as the lighter weight bullet can shift POI from POA. Additionally, the lighter rounds can cause cycling issues in semi-automatic firearms. Most self-defense experts do not really recommend frangible ammunition for self defense. Frangible are for shooting steel targets. Personally, I'd recommend a solid copper expanding bullet from Defiant Munitions (TCX), Gorilla Ammunition (.223 Self Defense), or Corbon (DPX) ... or Speer Gold Dots.

But, consider in that statement they admit that something getting in the cavity pre-expansion hinders expansion ... yet the tip is in the cavity. There's the inherent problem. They are banking on that tip coming out at impact. Often, though, it gets mashed down into the cavity and hinders expansion.

I still prefer the 12 gauge shotgun loaded with buck shot, for home defense. With a handgun in my pocket. Easier on the ears, 9 pellets hitting with force, 6 shots at least. That should be all you need. Intruders don't stay for a gunfight. When the boomstick goes off, 99% of the time they run out of the house if you haven't immobilized them yet. You can always retreat to your AR. When I was going back and forth on (after grabbing my handgun) what to go-to, AR, or 12 gauge, I remembered how the AR is looked at by many left wing fools. Yet the 12 gauge is more acceptable. Stupid thought process, however, if you have to face a jury with potential left wing anti- 2nd ammendment communists on it, or get a left wing activist judge, I'd prefer to defend myself and the 12 gauge instead of the "scary, killing machine, weapon of war, fully triple automatic assault weapon".

About 2 month's ago A cougar was trying to kill a new calf of mine so I shot it 23 times with 50 grain 223 hornady ballistic tips. I was not impressed. It ran about 280 yds total before dieing. After hitting it 2 times it turned off the calf and ran straight towards me so I worked its chest over then at about 22 yds away it turned broadside to me and I worked its lungs over then it climbed a fence and I hit it between the front shoulders in the spine and it ran another 50 yards before dieing. The cougar was about 150 lbs. I shot a 25 lb coyote earlier that morning and 1 shot tipped it over. I am now stepping up to 64 grain spire points and will see how that works. 50 to 55 grain ballistic tips have worked well for me on coyotes out to 450 yds. I felt the 50 grain hornady ballistic tips expanded to fast for good penitration on the cougar.

I love listening to people who say well this round will pass through 2 walls and still be effective. HUH, in a home defense situation you better have eyes on target before you pull the trigger. The intruder is almost always a thief that may or may not be armed. A 556 55gr FMJ will eliminate any human target at 10 to 20 feet and a rifle with a 16 inch barrel at that range you should not miss, if you think you might miss put down that weapon before you hurt yourself. Traveling at 3000fps the amount of energy hitting the target could possibly stop the heart which will eliminate the threat the bullet will expand and tumble, going where it wants to tearing up everything if the shock doesn't eliminate the threat the internal bleeding will.

Personally I'd rather not use an AR inside my home unless suppressed with subsonic ammo. I keep my AR ready as a standoff tool for outside the home. I do have a dedicated AR standard capacity mag charged with 35-45gr. Varmint rounds traveling at 3,500-3,900 fps at the muzzle. and staggered with 42gr. Frangible ammo. I use my PCC loaded with 147gr 9mm +P and 124gr. +P Speer Gold Dot and Federal HST. My experience tells me that the AR is super loud with a blinding muzzle flash inside any structure. My PCC for home defense is a CZ Scorpion with a MagPul 35 round mag loaded as mentioned previously. Know your impacts at the different ranges in your home. Remember sight over bore on 3-10 yard potential engagements. My PCC is load inside my home. Keep your AR for outside purposes loaded with heavy 5.56x45mm in the 69-77gr. OTM or ballistic tip ammo. Hope this helps anyone. Semper Fi and Spiritus Invictus my fellow Americans.

Do not use full metal jackets for home defense, use soft points. Soft point bullets expand consistently and predictably causing more damage than cheap FMJ ammo, use the cheap FMJ for the range. Buy soft points from a reputable brand, go to the range, fire off a few mags to test feeding reliability. There are other kinds of defense bullets however soft points are ideal because they penetrate around 16 inches to reach vitals and incapacitate and cause massive wound cavities without over penetration.

I've been searching for such ammo for a long time, and what I found that I thought I would want is the Hornady Urban TAP 55gr. but for some reason, they only let police buy it. Makes no sense. However, I just discovered that they make the Critical Defense in a 55gr .223 round, and since it's what I carry in my P365xl (and the Critical Duty in my P320), I've decided to order 5 boxes for some testing, if I like it, I'll order 5 more boxes and load up a could mags to keep at home. Personally, I'll grab the handgun for a home defense situation, but I believe it's a great idea to have proper ammo for the rifle in case things take that highly unlikely turn that all hell breaks lose.

If you have a 1 in 7" twist rate in your AR can you effectively fire a 40grain round? Maybe at home defense short distances, it does not matter but always been told not to shoot smaller than 55grain out of my AR. Also, I have been warned to not have any boutique ammo as a prosecutor can make the claim you were out to kill someone because of the ammo you use, vs standard 55 or 62-grain ammo. Should that be a concern when using frangible ammo?
@abettermind
2 жыл бұрын
I personally don't think frangible ammo is smart for anything other than steel targets. I run 1:7 barrels exclusively and they'll shoot anything up close. My groups start to get a bit wider with anything lighter than 55g. The 1:7 seems to really, really like the 62g rounds I usually run. Back in the day I heard that faster rifling could spin a light round apart but I don't think it's an issue with today's better ammo. I'm a big fan of the 62-70 grain in the 1:7. It seems to do everything pretty well. With that said, I dump everything through it. A Wylde chambered 1:7 is, in my opinion, the most useful general purpose set up. And as far as the lawyer, unfortunately they're going to make any round you use sound terrible. A FMJ is reckless because it can go through things, a hollow is evil because it does too much damage, etc. As far as lawyers are concerned, I think anything that says "self defense" on the box would probably sound better to a jury. Their lawyer can say all they want, and your lawyer gets to say "he's a responsible gun owner that bought ammo specifically labeled for self defense."
