There have been numerous threads in different THR categories where the "myth" of using handloads/reloads in justified shootings were busted.I fell for the Internet Legend, that may or may not be true, that using handloads would potentially put me in legal jeopardy of using 'especially deadly handloads' in the event of a justified shoot.
For me I simply prefer to hand police the box of ammunition the rounds used for justified shooting came from instead police take my entire reloading equipment setup and supplies for the duration of the trial as evidence.
So while many of us are more than capable of handloading/reloading defensive loads that will perform well, I think using factory ammunition is more "feasible/prudent" choice. It's similar in thinking to using cheaper pistols like Glocks you could readily part with for the duration of the trial instead of more expensive pistols.
