A: Thanks for reaching out Denver! Sierra markets this ammunition for varmint hunting, which suggests to me that it wouldn't fare as well against heavily clothed and otherwise shielded threats as a police-grade soft point bullet. The Sports Master JHP is advertisied to deliver positive, uniform and controlled terminal expansion, though, which can help reduce (but not elimintate) the risk of over-penetration that could harm innocent bystanders. At the end of the day, we're talking about 300 BLK here. With good shot placement, this ammo could absolutely provide an effective solution for self-defense.
