Reloading pistol for self-defense

With bullets like those, I’d push them as fast as possible. Those will cause maximum damage and if they punch through, I don’t think they’ll punch through unless they break apart. Like I mentioned earlier I use 90 grains and run them 1450. I’ve shot a raccoon and it exploded.

Im looking for minimum velocity that the bullet full expands and doesnt over penetrate.

Thinking about running that test..
 
1. I specifically asked in the original post and several times after, very nicely and gently not to go to the lawyer talk discussion, and what you imagine and speculate a lawyer might say. So why are people continuing to do what I ask them not to do and speculate on what attorneys will do ?

You started the lawyer talk crap in your first damn post dude!

“My goal is to be wise and responsible in my reloading, to not endanger others and also not leave myself open to a criminal or civil charge in how I choose my loads.”

And then wonder WHY when people comment on the dumb stuff you said...
