Self Defense Ammunition question
So,
Until now,
I've just kept my "serious mags" loaded with duty ammunition, usually 55 grain ballistic tip of some type.
(mostly 55 grain corbon blitz king, with a bit of 55 grain remington ball. tip, and even some honrnady redtip shit that I aint too sure about)
BUT... I'm kinda re-thinking now that my "duty" is refocused (god, family, country, and not that badge).... so i get to choose.... I'm wondering if I shouldn't go heavier on the weight.
Maybe 75 gr BTHP?
All of my rifles are 14.5's and I'm kinda wondering if, being a home defense weapon, heavier might not be better.
Thoughts??

Self Defense Ammunition question
I can’t think of any plastic tipped cup and core .224 bullets that I’d choose for a self defense role. Those are designed for violent fragmentation in varmints.
They definitely won’t over-penetrate, but I don’t consider that enough of a benefit to outweigh minimal penetration.
I’d trust a ~55 grain Sierra GameKing more than a BlitzKing.
