A 223 projectile isn't less stable than a 9mm and doesn't tumble. That's an anti-gunner myth.Irrelevant. The .223 is less stable and may not have the guaranteed penetration if tumbling as a more stable fmj 9mm through sheet rock….
But that argument is completely erroneous when one is traveling at three times the mv and can reliably kill out to 4-600 hundred yards. Everything is slug dependent. The point is valid.
A 223 projectile is half, or more, the weight of a 9mm round.
