Aside from the legal issues if I had to load one round into my pistol and my life depended on that round working, I would choose one that I personally loaded and not one that came off of an assembly line. I have seen a few screwed up rounds in boxes of new ammo (granted not that many) and if my butt was on the line I would be leaving nothing to chance.
I used a nice clean brass case with a good flash hole.
I used a nice new primer that I visually inspected (anvil present and looks aligned.)
I seated the primer by hand and felt it slip into place then checked it visually.
I used a powder charge that was chosen to give me the performance that I wanted and knew it was the proper weight.
I seated the right bullet to the right depth and made sure it was held in place by the proper method.
The rest would be up to the Good Lord and either my firing pin or striker.
