When others can demonstrate that loading your own is a legal mistake I might chance my mind. Until then I do load my own and my answer is yes.
Mas Ayoob has covered this ad nauseam, with cites. Ayoob is frequently employed as an expert witness in shootings, and has some little experience in this area.

Now, are the odds fer ye, or agin ye, that the prosecutor assigned to your case will make something of it? Dunno, but remember that they're paid to use every means available to them to put you away; if they don't win their cases, they lose their jobs, which means that you're likely to find not only the ammo an issue, but also any aftermarket item on your pistol.

The safe bet? Carry the pistol & ammo your local gendarmerie is issued.

Walt
