Used to before factory loads got so much better, but there was a time when I carried them on duty as a LEO. Premium defensive loads are pretty good these days. FWIW the loads in my backup revolver when hunting hogs is handloaded as is my hunting ammo. Not all of it is reloaded as I often use new cases. Sometimes I use my own cast bullets, or should I say re-cast wheelweights. Quality ammo is quality ammo, if I could load better defense ammo than I can buy I would.
Let's surprise the mods and keep this one civil, OK?
