Reading the thread on Mas Ayoob, I recall reading here and elsewhere many times that handloaded self defense ammo is a big no-no. I never gave it much thought until last fall, when I started loading my own .45ACP.
If I load up a batch of 50 Golden Sabre rounds, using Remington brass and primers, how would anyone even know they were handloads? And even if they were, how does that have any bearing on whether a shooting was justified or not?
I can understand how an attorney in a civil trial might try to make a big deal out of it, but in my state law puts the responsibility of injury directly on the perpetrator of a crime so I'm not so concerned about that part of it.
