First, I don't want to polarize this question by getting into whether or not one should use reloads for self defense. Let's just say, for the sake of the argument, that one shouldn't. For that matter, I wouldn't, no matter where the debate might go. Anyway, a local gun shop sells some really good reloaded ammo from a company called HSM, out of Missoula, MT. I've used a couple of .45 ACP loads that have proven very reliable. One uses the Gold Dot 230 grain HP bullet and the other the Gold Dot 200 grain HP bullet. They are obviously reloads, or re-manufactured loads evidenced by various head-stamps and even some nickel cases thrown in.
My question: in this case, what are your opinions as to whether or not one should carry these for self defense? The price is awesome and I would like to carry these, but I personally believe my reloads would not be the way to go. How about these HSM reloads?
I appreciate any and all opinions and responses. Thanks.
