[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2977731, member: 15054"] Learn to use the gun you have. will not make much difference then what you are shooting. The 55gr V-Max will expand at short ranges from a rifle. I have shot many critters stuck in my traps at 2 feet distance and I will assure you there is great expansion. Great expansion from the 69gr Tipped match king also at 2 feet. If bad guy is being shot at he will head the other direction unless he is on some wicked drug. But if you are excellent with the firearm of your choice he will only be heading down to the floor. Decide what distances inside your home you will be shooting and practice at those distances. Rifle, shotgun or pistol it will not matter much if you hit the correct spot or spots. 1 #6 pellet from a shotgun that pierces the wind pipe will make the bad guy gasp for air. Get one of them in an eyeball see what the bad guy does. If you get snuck up on while sleeping it would be nice if you had a pistol under the pillow or somewhere where you could keep your hands under the blankets and retrieve the pistol and shoot the bad guy through the blankets. We have squeaky door hinges on the house.. they do not get oiled.. also have a full glass storm door on front with deadbolt on it. Going to make racket getting in. Then there is a small wind chime that rattles as you open the squeaky front door. Coming up the squeaky stairs. you will not make it far. You will need to break glass to enter my home.. [/QUOTE]
