Some say that .223 is just not a good stopper. How does a .223 Hornady VMax stand up to a hornady zmax/vmax .45 ACP +p out of a carbine? Yes, rifles are generally more powerful than pistols, but the .45 is more than double the diameter and weight of the .223

But I hear the Hornady Vmax .223 has explosive wound patterns
