Fair enough, what might be legal in one locale could well cause problems in another. But what I am looking for is an actual case where it has happened. We all know that anyone, anywhere , is capable of being sued for anything. It is a risk we run by merely walking out the door. I simply think that, absent an actual case, we are on pretty firm ground using legal handloads no matter where we live. Of course, that could change tomorrow, so I understand your reluctance to use them. To each his own.

Your point about reliability is well taken--it pays to be careful. I have honestly had the same amount of feeding problems with my own stuff as I have had with store-bought ammo--practically zero (unless you count .22 LR which I obviously don't reload.) I agree that if you are not going to pay attention to detail while loading you are far better off using factory stuff.
