[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2835681, member: 9299"] Ever so often I hear or read this not only for dangerous game protection, but also I see it for EDC personal defense against the two legged variety. If one is not proficient or is careless in their handloading, I guess I could understand and agree, but for many, we produce "better" ammo than some of the factory loads we have seen, especially as of late. All handloads are tested for reliability even before a simple hunt let alone serious protection loads. In all my decades, I have never had any concern using my handloads when standing in front of anything that is many times my size and can run me over, stomp me into a puddle, gore me, tear me to shreds or bite very badly. However, I have seen some rounds of factory ammo that failed inspection due to most every reason of ammo quality. I.e. crooked or badly seated bullets, crushed or bent necks and case mouths, badly seated primers or even no primer, no powder, bad headspace, etc. Mass produced ammo can have some QA issues, but when I produce ammo for special purposes, hunting or other, it is all carefully inspected at each step.
