You don't have to practice with what you carry. Find a good defensive ammo you like ,pull it apart and copy it. Make the reloads for practice ,carry the factory ammo.Rpowell600 wrote: ↑August 10th, 2018, 8:58 am Do you use handloads for your self defense ammo? Are there actually legality issues regarding the use of your own handloads vs factory loaded? I cant seem to find a clear answer and its 50/50 down the middle. Considering you have to practice with what you carry its extremely cost effective to load your own.
