If I was a wrong doer who was shot by a homeowner, I would almost rather be shot twice by a .557/.223 AR-15 “Assault Style Rifle” than once by a .357 carbine. Then357 is just way more deadly I think. I am trying to convince the wife to let me buy a Rossi carbine in addition to my Mini-14.

“Then357 is just way more deadly I think.”
.223 has a higher energy than a .357
Just remember that a 17 year old dropped a child rapist, an abuser of women, and disabled a third man’s arm with a what I believe was 55 grain .223.
