For SD ammo, I choose a quality factory load. I don't shoot high quantity (just enough to make sure it functions reliably in my gun) and so the vastly higher cost is NO ISSUE for me. I think the civil liability issue is valid. I ask those who carry at my church to also carry only a factory SD (preferably what LEO's use). Why take a chance with BG's momma suing me for working up my own ultra-death-inducing load when I can just gop factory for EDC?

I agree completely. I use factory loads for carrying and handload for every other purpose in all calibers I have: .38, .357, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 Colt, .221 Fireball, 7mm TCU, .30 carbine and .30-30. The last four are for my Contender. Yes, .30-30 is great in a 14" contender.
As for my carry load, I carry what the Connecticut State Police carries: .40 S&W 155 gr. HydraShoks.
