Watching you guys debate this issue is interesting. It seems like the old fragmenting vs expanding bullet argument. I have decided, for 50 yds and in , to use Hornady Critical Defense. It seems to be a combo round with both V-Max and penetration in the same bullet. I prefer the 55 gr for inside the house (less chance of overpenetration in my relatively small house)and 73 gr for outside. I am also a big fan of Speer Gold Dots and am stockpiling some in both 62 and 75 gr. I am considering the Barnes TSX bullet in a 70 gr AAC loadings well as the Barnes or Black Hills loading, depending on on which of all these my rifles like best in back-back testing. The TSX would be a long range/ penetration choice, and I want some 77 gr OTM to compare against the TSX. I have been primarily running .308 for the last decade, but am getting a little long in the tooth for a full powered rifle round I might have to carry on my back.
I would be interested in the opinions of you all over this plan in progress!
