Torque is good, but the movie was dumb.

I didn't make a movie. Store-bought loads are best. If you shoot some stupid intruder motherf*cker with hand-made loads you're gonna go to Federal Pound You in the A55 Prison.

I'm talking about that motorcycle movie from back in the day.

EDIT - just did some google searching re: hand loading. That's wacked! Oh well this is for target shooting anyway or that 1 in a million SHTF scenario where we are WROL

yup. since forever. you better hope and pray you shoot that a-hole in the front. you're still getting arrested and going to jail and trial and paying for a lawyer and bail and you better be a good actor an tell the jury you thought your life (and your family's life) was in danger and did I mention... you better be a good actor. :)

I think in any shooting you need a good lawyer and some acting classes. The point regarding hand loads I found on another site:

I don't know of anywhere where it is illegal to use reloads for self defense. If someone is shot they are shot reloaded or factory ammo. The reason to use factory ammo is that if there is some question about what happened. If the topic of what ammo you used comes up there are already other problems more serious. Using factory ammo let's investigators replicate many things. If you say the BG with the baseball bat was 3 feet from you when you shot him and his buddies say he was 30 feet, they can find who's telling the truth by doing gunshot residue tests with factory ammo. Even if you told them it was 3.2 grs of Wham powder behind a Super Duper 90 gr jhp it is only what you said you had in your gun. If you're using factory ammo they can duplicate it for sure.

makes sense to me, but yeah if I'm in a situation where I actually have to pull the trigger I got bigger problems than what kind of round is in the chamber.

werd! right? shotgun, (store-bought) 00 buckshot, game over.

**Dan B.** · 05-23-2015, 11:09 PM

AR loads. Varget and any 50+ gr bullet. Pet load was with a 68gr btsp.

I *just* got some Varget. Gun store finally got some in so I picked it up. However, finding those 68 grain boat tails is another story. I think I'd have better luck catching a unicorn. 6 months ago bullets were plentiful but cartridges were scarce. Now its the reverse.

Sold my AR but may still have a few hundred 68gr btsp in the cabinet. I could bring them to the track day.

Hornady right? Yeah I'd be willing to give them a try. Some say a 1:9 twist is fast enough to use them, some say not. I'd like to find out for myself. :)
