A: Thanks for reaching out Samuel! There are better 5.56 cartridges for home defense, like Speer Gold Dot which has an expanding SP bullet. (We unfortunately haven't got any in stock at the moment.) That said, this round would without question prove effective in a home defense scenario. Its terminal ballistics are on par with the M193 ammo our own Armed Forces would use in combat. There were some pressure issues with Hornady's Frontier ammo (which is actually loaded by the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant) in the past, but we haven't gotten any complaints from our customers for several months. I myself have burned through a couple cases of Frontier quite recently and encountered no problems!
