Is this a good choice for home defense? I am bit worried because those are light/fast bullets - will they penetrate a wall? Thanks!
I have a feeling the clerk suggested what he had a lot of or what cost the most or both. Most stores don't carry the FBI Load any more because everyone thinks they need the newest and in turn the most expensive ammo out there. I order mine online from Ammunition-To-Go. (and other online stores)
