Ignoring the legalities for a moment, I agree with those posters who suggest choosing a proven man-stopping cartridge for self-defense. And barring that, choose a proven bullet for a self defense round. Loading up your zero's to hot velocities that replicate a good SD load is one thing, actually depending on the bullet to expand and perform is another.
There are better choices.
Nothing against Zero. I have used their bullets before and would gladly use them again.
