Everyone I've seen shot with M855 at close range had massive tissue destruction, with all the energy spent in the person. M855 has a thin jacket, so it comes apart as long as it's going 2600fps. That said, I would still be concerned about the steel penetrator that is loctaed in the projectile of M855.
Using a varmint bullet with a polymer tip will provide reliable feeding, and catastrophic tissue damage at close range. That is sound advice in my opinion. After what I've seen 12ga do to dry wall, cars, etc., I don't even keep one in the hosue anymore. I use to, but I'm not willing to be liable for every one of those pellets. I worry enough about single projectiles and what they could do to my neighbors, since even pistol will cut through most construction fascia like it's not there.
