Question

Answer 1

A: Thank you for reaching out Sheri! You would ideally use a hollow point bullet for home protection, although we haven't got any in stock at the moment so that's a moot point. But without question, the LRNFP is the better bullet for self-defense. Because the pure lead bullet lacks a hard jacket, it's capable of deforming as it penetrates soft tissue to deal greater damage to it. I do like that it's a flat point as well – that means it will exert more of its energy to its target during the instant of impact, probably tear a wider wound channel than a round nose, and have a greater chance of deforming more as it penetrates. This is basically the same kind of bullet cowboys would have used in their six-shooters.

Answer 2

A: This round is not the best choice for personal protection. An FMJ or TMJ bullet is jacketed, which means it's not capable to expanding inside a target. You want expansion because it creates a wider wound channel and transfers more of its energy while it penetrates. If you're looking for a box of 357 Magnum ammo that's designed for self-defense and not target practice, then you'll be much better off with this: bulkammo.com/bulk-357-mag-ammo-357mag158grsjhprtp357m2rem-50. That's a hollow point bullet on that round, which is designed to mushroom inside a target and do much greater damage to it in the process!
