How do you figure? Sure, give him something he can use against you. That'll show him. Seriously, it's all about dealing with the real world.

And that's a good story and could work. Just remember that there are no guarantees. Sometimes you have to take a calculated risk.

It's like choosing JHPs. They are generally regarded as the best overall choice for two legged nasties, but they have some potential downsides in court as Harold Fish discovered. Nonetheless, I choose them for my SD needs and, if the worst happens, will need to rely the argument that I use them because they are the overwhelming choice of LE.

But remember, no matter how good your argument for using handloads is, if you need GSR evidence, you're still out of luck.
