A sage quote, my friend Adam. I also agree with your prediction concerning imminent gun legislation.
Getting back to topic here, my apologies Dan, I too use factory loads for my personal defense ammuntion. When I begin handloading in the (hopefully
) not too distant future, I will still utilize the factory flavors-especially in the anti-gun area that I reside (NW burbs of Chicago)
As a sidenote, I saw an advertisement recently, (Cabelas I believe) that had pitched a new personal protection line of cartridges from Hornady that claimed low flash, recoil, and muzzle blast for in the house shooting scenarios. I'll have to look into it.
