Best ammo for self defense - house gun

[OldeTSgt]

Thinking of 110 V- Max for self defense at the house? Any other recommendations?

There has been quite a bit of discussion on this. Basically, in my opinion, for supers look to the Barnes 110 blacktip (loaded by Barnes of any number of other companies) and for subs, I like the 194 Lehigh Max Expansion loaded by Lehigh or Beck.

Do a search and you'll stumble on lots of other opinions.

Lehigh 115gr Controlled Chaos for Supers & Lehigh 174gr Controlled Fracturing for Subs.
IV8888 & Tim from the Military Arms Channel did a couple videos testing 300 BLK ammo in a house mock up.
They are on Full 30 or You Tube. (The 78gr CQD bullets do not appear to be available to the public any longer.)

I like the 110g vmax myself. They work well enough at any reasonable SD distance. I also find them to to very constant. Plus I can actually buy them locally! If we are talking longer ranges I would go with the Barns solid copper loads.

Double ought buck.

But if you have to use a 300blk, check out the Lehigh Controlled Chaos.

220gr hp subs in a 10 in. ar pistol with a suppressor.

That would be nice and quiet, but it would sail right through the intruder and every wall in your house.

Yeah, you don't need an AR-15 or a 30 round clip... Just get a double barrelled shotgun and fire a couple blasts in the air.
