Don't get your training from YouTube. Anybody with internet access can post anything they want there.
"...well within fifty yards..." 50 yards is pushing the "immediate danger" distance. However, any rifle has far too much penetration and range capability. You are 100% responsible for where any shot you fire ends up. Hit something or somebody way down the street or your next door neighbour, you are responsible. And you'll likely have to justify shooting at all in court.
"...soft point is a bad HD choice..." Actually better but only because the will expand rapidly and fail to penetrate stuff like dry wall. They'll still go a very long way if you miss though.
"...Frontier spire spire point..." Spire point SP? Just another SP.
