I ran across this article on ammo drywall penetration. It is a few years old but some people may not have seen it. I thought people may find the .223 results interesting. I was really surprised by the results from the Ranger 64 gr Soft Point. I never would have thought it would break up before the 55 gr ballistic tip TAP round. It really made me take a look at that round.

Re: .223 Drywall Penetration Test
That is very interesting. I have been using the Hornady 75gr TAP as my go to ammo, but may have to pick up some of the Ranger 64gr.
