Re: Hand Loads for Self Defense
I do not think that the type of ammo would come up in a prosecution for deadly force.The thing that would matter,to a jury,is why you used deadly force.Did you use the minimum amount of force nessesary to STOP the person.Or were you neglegent,or have total disregard for your actions.I have been loading ammo since 1968,for hunting and competetion,and feel very comfortable with my loads.I have seen "squib loads" with handloads and factory ammo,but the percentage of you having a bad load is much less with Remington,Winchester,or Federal factory loads.Unless you use a 40mm grenade on a 70 year old lady,I don't think that type of ammo would be an issue.Were you Justified????
