Best 5.56 defensive round for expansion and cavity size
There are a lot of youtube gel tests about this, but I found them to be mostly indifferent and inconclusive. What is considered to be the most effective round for putting someone down fast with maximum blood loss? I imagine it's high-velocity and light-grained, with some sort of expanding bullet?

Would you provide some documentation about this ammo?
Here's a YouTube of Speer Gold dot icepicking in ballistic gel.

I do not believe a rifle with 5.56 is a good idea for home defense. Again, consider the distances and the high risk of over penetration.
Did you even watch the video? I didn't know a ice pick could create a wound cavity like that. The abilities of defensive .223/5.56 have been well documented.
