OK, I'm getting ready to load some more 5.56 rounds for my AR.
Question. The military uses 55gr FMJ due to the Geneva convention. But, if you were defending your home or bugging out, would you rather have:
1. FMJ
2. PSP
3. JHP
I'm not asking about bullet weight or whether this is the "best" caliber, just type of bullet for self defense. A FMJ will penetrate heavy clothing, helmets, etc. better, but the others "might" have more stopping power?
Which would it be?
