Military Self Defense Ammo for Mini 14

hollowpoint rounds are a better choice for shooting humans, especially in the home.

I have to disagree, have you ever seen what M193 ball ammo does ? it is spectacular to say the least especially at close range, it tumbles and fragments causing a devasting wound and is very cheap and is less likely to over penetrate in materials found in homes than 9mm.

I would be worried that a hollow point wouldn't get you enough penetration because it seems like most 223HP are varment rounds.
