[QUOTE="diggler1833, post: 3963334, member: 48072"] I use a 55gr bonded soft point (Speer Gold Dot). It barely meets the 12" penetration requirement, but does...expands extremely well in all tests, and is still "marginal" (not useless) through barriers. I should add that my HD situation does have a high probability for children downrange...so I built in multiple (7) hardwood layers of protection with solid bookshelves, dressers etc... and I chose a bullet that will stop in them just a bit sooner. ***** My ranch rig uses 64gr Speer Gold Dots, and they are fantastic on big pigs. I have absolutely zero doubt that even a good center-mass impact is going to go through a fat guy and keep on trucking for a bit. Great for outside, less great with kids in the background. [/QUOTE]
