One time many years ago I read an article about using a gun for self defense that was written by a lawyer. His advice was NEVER use handloads for self defense if you have a choice. The reason given was that it can be twisted to show that you purposely created a cartridge to create the most horrific wound possible and that you are therefor a bloodthirsty wacko. Always use a factory load for self defense was his advice and it strikes me as being sound logic.
