I was thinking of the possibility of it being used in a defensive role and am thinking it should fall into the same performance niche as the 64 gr. Winchester Power Point and Nosler 60 gr. Partition. If anybody has any penetration data to share, I would be happy to read it.

I understand that a softpoint expands while a match bullet fragments, but it interests me because the Sierra 65 gr. GameKing would be useful for 1/9 twist AR15s. I suppose the comparison should be between the Sierra 65 gr. GK and the 69 gr. MatchKing for that twist rate.

I already use the 75 gr. Hornady open tip match in 1/7 twist carbines as one of the recommendations by DocGKR. Thanks for the comments.
