35-50gr v-max, polymer tipped, varmint hunting type bullets.
From what I've seen in testing videos, (not my tests) these thin jacketed bullets explode when they hit anything. So a miss will blow up on the first piece of Sheetrock or interior door, and have little energy left to cause harm to anyone or thing in the next room.
Ballistic gel shows these lightweight bullets cause a HUGE permenent wound cavity!
Although 5"-9" penetration is "not acceptable" for personal defense, a cabbage ball sized hole in someone's abdomen should make them rethink what their doing!
To me tho the number one thing for using a rifle indoors is sound, for 2 reasons. One, permanent hearing damage and two, disorientation from what would essentially be a flash-bang from every shot. So electric ears is a must have in my mind. Unless you have a suppressor, but it would still be loud.

When it comes down to it, living through the "situation" is the most important aspect! Everything else is just trade offs to survive it!
I would rather be living with lesser hearing and lesser vision than deceased with perfect hearing and perfect vision!
Word.I'm with this guy......
I
than deceased with perfect hearing and perfect vision!
That would be a good trick
I won't go into detail, but I have fired a LOUD gun indoors, and the sound and ringing in my ears wasn't noticed until 10-15 mins later when the adrenaline wore off.
I wouldn't make that my primary focus. To me it's not harming family members while trying to protect them.
Flash is more of an issue than sound.
Of course this is just all my personal opinion.
I can't say I agree with you here. I have fired a snub nose 38 with +p ammo OUTSIDE without ear pro and I was def for a few seconds and it scared the **** out of me because it was so loud. Semi auto pistols don't bother me but that was something I won't forget and about as loud as an ar15 is to my ears.
So knowing that, for me, electric ear pro is a must so I can remove something that may draw my focus away from a threat. In addition, the BG will be getting ALL of the flash-bang effect where as I will get virtually none by comparison.
Of course all of this is assuming they can gain entry in the first place
