Have To Take Issue

Have to take issue with a couple of Yankee's statemetns....

Quote:
2) Not aware of reloads being a legal issue in any case here in TX (in recent years anyway).

COMMENT:
Not only not in Texas but not anywhere else either... It just isn't an issue...

QUOTE:
4) Ayoob has documented some cases where the use of a reload lead to a bad outcome for an otherwise good shoot. But not here in TX.

COMMENT:
Unless Ayoob has been able to find a case in the past few years he has never shown a case that hand loaded ammo was an issue... none, zero, zip. Of hate his comment has been "why take the risk of giving a prosecutor something he "MIGHT" use.

QUOTE:
5) Buy high quality SD loads and you won't have to worry about squibs and such. I mean really, what are the chances? How many rounds do expect to fire in self defense between here and eternity? Two? Six? What are the chances that one of them will come up as a squib?

COMMENT:
Factory ammo has failures too... Just bought a box of "Factory" premium HP ammo that had two primers reversed in the case... I have had two kB! incidents with factory ammo... hummmm....Ammo loaded by an educated, careful hand loader is at least as good as factory ammo...often better.

My thoughts anyway...
