Nazis ?!? Shoot, I been preparing for zombies.. Now what am I gonna do?

Paint 'em green, you'll be fine.

I once loaded some Nosler boat tail bullets that were designed for the 30-30 in my 30-06 at full power. I tested them for expansion. As you would expect, they pretty much blew up at short range.
Beyond 200 yards, when they had slowed to 30-30 velocities, they performed normally.
Accuracy was fine for hunting purposes.

Hmmm. My self defense 30-06 (actually a self offence) is my Garand...

I would use a 125g frangible bullet just so you don't run the risk of killing the guy 3 blocks down the road.
Unless you live on a big farm with lots of space and trees.

justneed to use a low weight varmit slug in .308

hornady half jacket 110 grain soft point for m1 carbine would be ideal.

so would perhaps the traditional varmint bullets in 110-125 weight

That's the route I chose. 125gr Speer TNTs

I recall an old Dean Grennel story from one of his books where he did just this, but for hunting ammo.

As I recall, he was talking about the more casual days when people would reload for others who didn't. Apparently he reloaded some .30-06 rounds for a friend to hunt mountain lion with. BTW, the friend wanted a lion to have mounted by a taxidermist.

Being somewhat ignorant of such things (again this was supposedly in Dean's more neophyte days) he simply loaded "150 grain bullets." Turns out they were 150 FPs intended for a .30-30. Apparently blew the cat to pieces (or at least too many pieces to mount.)

I loved Dean, and sorely miss him and his writing!
