I am firmly in the crowd that says "Do NOT carry handloads for self defense."kilotanker22 said:So, I am getting ready to buy a couple thousand hollow points to load for 9mm defensive ammunition. I know I don't need that many, but I practice often with my carry ammo, and with the current market, I cannot afford to buy defensive ammunition in the quantities I would like to shoot it. I can load it much cheaper.
The two bullets I am trying to decide between are the Hornady XTP and the Nosler sporting handgun bullet. My load spits out 115 grain XTP bullets a shade over 1200 fps in my 4.5" guns and 1170 from my Glock 43x. Both are comparably priced too.
@9MMand223only,
So what we want is a link to a bullet that states "this product no longer in stock"?
I can find that without a link.
Laying it on pretty thick eh?Give them a try. You will save a ton of money. You have to practice with something. It makes zero sense to buy all retail.
What you would do is buy like 200 brand new, load those for your stash, then buy 20,000 from American Reloading of same bullet, and use it for practice your entire life for the cost of plated.
That makes sense.
Also, they are all "new", I should know, I have about 40,000 total, and they are REAL GOOD. I would carry it no issue, some lots are pristine as new. I tested them vs new, and there is zero difference. because they are new. It doesn't make sense not to buy them for at least practice, its totally illogical and just throwing money away. Shipping is free too. unreal deal. Crazy they have stock, people have lost their minds. This is near too good to be true deal, I been buying for years, and people still have not woke up and still sleeping. Seriously nuts.
So, I am getting ready to buy a couple thousand hollow points to load for 9mm defensive ammunition.
I have bought from them before, and probably will again. What I really do not like is companies who have shills that go around various forums to promote their products in annoying or exaggerated ways. You sir may not be a shill, but your language suggests otherwise. I appreciate your input, but give it a rest man. This is one of the reasons I moved away from companies Like Arken optics and Outlier.buy now, don't pass go.
I doubt that would hold up in court, especially since the burden of proof is on the state. I could just as easily argue that I was simply trying to replicate industry standard types of defensive ammunition, and doing so because price and availability have been sporadic. I would argue that my ammunition is loaded within published data and uses the same components that would be used in various factory ammunition. I would also argue the reason for this type of ammunition over ball ammo would be that it is designed to expand, and will likely not over penetrate. Thereby mitigating the risks involved to innocent bystanders in the event that I had to use my weapon in self defense.There's a school of thought that says you should only load factory ammo in a defensive gun.
The reason is that at your trial, it removes the anti-gun district attorney's ability to charactderize you as a malevolent explosives expert who was hell-bent on slaughter.
His rationale and evidence for this characterization would, of course, be those needlessly lethal death-loads you concocted late at night in your basement-- two of which ended up as a double-tap in the actor's chest...
I must be missing something. All I see are mixed hollow points and tmj stuff.These been back in stock all day. your not all buying it up? How can this last in stock 2 days now? Seems insane.

That is like 10 cents for HST, or Flexlock, or Critical duty. Untouchable prices
Midway is clearancing 147 XTP for like .15 or .16 each. Ordered 1200 yesterday.XTP is better I would say. ALso, the Nosler bullet loads at a very short OAL, because the round ogive is very fat, and it hits the barrel, so max OAL with it might be like 1.060 or something very low. The XTP's load to 1.100.
basically, you want 147 XTP's if you can get them, but any XTP is a top tier load.
A decent judge will not allow the ammo argument in criminal case. It could come up in a civil case. If you want to avoid a civil case, make sure the perp dies. As far as criminal case goes the standard that must be met is that deadly force was justified the entire time it was used.They could just as easily argue that point with factory loaded ammunition. Let's say I was using Speer 124 grain Gold Dot +P ammunition. The prosecution could easily argue that my choice to use an expanding bullet loaded to a higher pressure was because I wanted my ammunition to be more lethal than non expanding, standard pressure ammunition. Which, is true I guess. Isn't the whole point of using an expanding bullet to cause more damage to end the threat as quickly as possible, and also to mitigate the risk of over penetration?
There are so many holes in that way of thinking that a reasonably intelligent person could pick apart their entire argument.
