The problem is not a ballistics problem. It's an evidentiary one. Regardless of what a good ballistics lab might come up with, a court might not allow any evidence of the shooter/defendant's handloads in. Some time ago, I started a thread to put all of the "handload vs. factory loads for SD" threads in one place:
An Archive Regarding Reloads and Self-Defense.
I'll just go ahead and add this thread to the archive.
