“Another myth is that “there’s no reason
not to use handloads for self-defence, and there has never been a case of anyone getting into trouble for using them.” That’s an urban myth, on both counts.”

You’ll need to pay me big time to type out the whole story lol – but after reading it … brother I tell you what, I went out and spent a fortune on those Cor Bons I love so much, and have never loaded my hand rolled anywhere but the back 50 plinking, or at the range.
If it helps, After the first $100 making sure the Cor Bons were reliable in my pistol, being pissed at the cost and all – I asked my wife to read the story too (she’s a lawyer). “Yeah I can see it,” was her response to being nailed for using hand loads.
Back to the store for more Cor Bons lol.
I don't know how many rounds you need to put through your pistol to feel comfortable that it's a good fit - but I will never use anything but factory loading for self defence. Hope that helps
