A: These Winchester Super Clean FMJs are great for range training and target shooting, but we can not not recommend these for home defense. For defensive rounds, you will want a bullet that will expand to a wider wound channel or otherwise expel the kinetic energy of the gunshot to the target.
While an FMJ is better than a rock, JHP rounds have been tested and proven more effective in a shorter amount of time. For a look at some better choice if your life is on the line, you may want to look at our testing in the caliber.
