When I go shooting at the range first gun I shoot is my carry weapon.
I shoot the factory ammo in the magazine or cylinder and then reload with second magazine I carry as spare or those in the dump pouch. This way I make sure the ammo in the carry weapon is always fresh and I’m constantly testing my carry ammo in terms of accuracy and reliability.
Yesterday while at the range I realize that when I finishing shooting at the range and pack up to go home I load couple of magazines or grab handful of my reloaded cartridges to load the carry weapon for the return trip. I always go home with my carry weapon loaded with reloaded ammo that I normally use for practice. My reloads are target type loads (SWC or full wadcutter bullets loaded to moderate velocity).
Which brings up the question, what if I did have to use those reloaded ammo for self-defense? Would it be an issue? Finally, has anybody really gotten in trouble for using reloaded ammo for self-defense or is it just something that could happen?
