BLAH BLAH BLAH, same junk every time a thread like this is posted.
IMO a simple vote yes or no would suffice...

do you load your own self defense ammo?

Yes, most of it.

Occasionally I send all my factory defense ammo downrange and fill my CCW with handloads to close the gap until I get another box of factory JHP ammo.
I don't fret about it too much. I don't build a round with any "killer" intent, I just follow instructions in the manuals and do not exceed specified limits. I rarely load at the top of the range. As stated, I'm just not that worried about it.
I easily see how an ambitious prosecutor could frame a case against this scenario and use it to paint a picture that portrays someone with malevolent intent.
This comes up every few months and the results are usually the same. IMO, it doesn't matter what ammo you carry, it's the situation that goes down that had you employing the ammo that will be focused on with great scrutiny.
The safest side of the fence is to carry factory ammo. That is clear.

I load my own and don't worry about the lawyers anymore! I scrape Lawyers off the bottom of my shoes!
I load my SD loads to published data and am happy to have them loaded in all of my guns.

I don't even want to get into the legal arguement.
That said, yes I do use reloads for carry ammo on all but my 380 (BUG). It is loaded with Gold Dots. My main carry is a 44 Spl revolver, and sometimes I carry a 45 Auto. I cast my own bullets and reload for these calibers.
