I guess it boils down to what you are willing to stake your life on. I don't load (yet) so any handload I would carry would have to be supplied by someone else. For me, that's a non-starter so I only carry factory loads (currently Golden Sabers in .45, Hydra-Shoks in 9mm).
There are prosecutors out there who will seize on anything to make the eeeeeevil gun owner look bad - - I'm not one of them but I know the type. I once heard a Multnomah Co. (Portland, OR) ADA state that the number of shots fired would be enough for her to discount a self-defense claim and charge the shooter. Clearly someone who doesn't understand that you shoot until the threat stops (and, to my mind, one who shouldn't be making charging decisions). Just my $.02, FWIW.
