Yup. For work we're issued Speers, but in my backup mags (we get to choose) I have two full of a TAP, and then some steel core for barricaded subjects.

Inside of a normal home and in populated areas, I would definitely recommend TAP. MIL use ball because the typical engagement ranges are further out then LEO/CIV would normally encounter, the added penetration is needed, and most of all because it is cheaper.
Isn't it also because of international agreements? JHP and other ammo is called "cruel" or some garbage like that?
Only in war. Thats is a Geneva convention agreement originally made so that medics would be able to sew up wounds earlier.

Re: .223 HD rounds

The standard .223 round should be more that suitable for HD as it tumbles upon entry and has a lot of power behind it. Also there is not much of a risk of over penetration. If you want something besides FMJ I'd go with soft point.
