wow!! ever since I joined the firing line thats a hot question.so here goes.
if the person chooses to use his or her handloads for personal defense you
better have years of loading and law reading under your belt! understanding the exact laws
as far as shooting an intruder (IN) your home. the reason you pulled the trigger,was the intruder armed?did you feel your life was threatened?or family.
all those things will be brought up in court including the ammo.so everything comes in to play here.and by years of loading under your belt I mean
every time you pull the trigger does it go bang?its a very touchy subject
I have been reloading for a long time I trust my reloads.but I only use factory self defensive ammo. that way I can be 110% that it will go bang.
