I pondered this question myself… and have come up with a plan, at least for me.

It goes without saying (so I will say it) you must be sure that you are ACTUALLY reproducing a Premium Factory Load. So if you have not already done so; get a box of what you like and a Chronograph and test it. Then build your own load and see how it compares. They should be close with no signs of excessive pressure.

Then Practice with your load and carry the Factory load.

The problem in my view is liability, if the lawyers can make the manufacture withdraw Black Talon Ammo because it is too deadly… they will make dog meat out of us.

I hope we never need to use any ammo in self defense… but if we do the last thing we need is trying to answer in a court how you just made some “Extra Deadly” round and just had to use it.
