For those of you that look to your AR as your home-defense weapon, what brand/type/weight bullet do you use? I've heard mixed results, some ranging from typical 55grn Ball ammo, so 75grn HP's.
AR ammo is too powerful to use for home defense. It will penetrate walls and accidentally kill the neighbors.
I use a .44 Magum Ruger Redhawk instead.

Remind me not to break into your houses.
It's funny because my GF and I were joking around about that movie "The Strangers", and we came to the conclusion that it would be a very short movie if they came to our house. You'd here the knock on the door, the creepy chick says, "your going to die!!!". I reply, "eventually of old age, or some stupid accident but you my friend have a more immediate problem on your hands BANG BANG BANG PISTOL WHIP BANG PISTOL WHIP RELOAD. The lady is taking care of the other thugs at the other door. End of movie.
PS. Right now I have M193 Privi partisan. i'll pick up a box of hornady tap, but for now I'd be fine with that.
That's why I won't mind sticking w/ 55grn. At HD distances it should fragment pretty good.
