Hi guys, if there is another thread on this out there please point me to it. I did a couple searches with unsatisfactory results.
I recently refreshed my carry/HD 9mm ammo supply and boy does it sting the in the wallet area.
I'm wondering if anyone out there loads their own.
I think I could put together something that approximates my round of choice for a fraction of the cost. (124grn Gold Dot +P) I realize that for just practice/range/competition ammo you just dont see the savings by reloading, but here I think there is $ to be saved.
I have a couple specific concerns. Firstly the resistance of my load against moisture and temperature fluctuations. Just how closely do hand loads perform vs the factory defensive ammo in this regard?
Also reliability is on my mind, however I am VERY careful with my reloads and shoot hundreds of them in competition, and I can say that I've never had 1 ammo related issue with my ammo.
What say the loading wizards on loading/reloading for carry/HD?
