Will stick to the federal Fusion or the Standard soft Point variants from Winchester and Federal in the 60 to 69 grain range then.

I asked around and maybe it would be possible to get the black hills offerings but it would be hasle logistically and Money wise as well. So the OTM would be the best choice anway from a logistical point of view.


I also found a critical defense load in 73 grain Hornady. They are on the more expensive side though. Have not read anything About the hornady critical defense rifle rounds though. So I cannot say if they are good or bad.

Does someone in the Forum has experience with this load?
The 73gr critical defense is expensive and it under penetrates, especially from the longer barrel of the mini 14. I would avoid it as there are much better options for a better price
