Very well said. Why take a chance that you just don't need to take. Because of reloader, the factory ammo has had to step up their quality and they do lots of research into what works well. I say take advantage of it.
I'd take advantage of it if it wasn't so expensive, and getting worse... My stepson and I shoot competitions most weekends. Sometimes Saturday and Sunday. That can run up to 1200 rounds a month. It's expensive enough even with reloads... Again, if you're within SAAMI specs, where is the argument that you're "reloading extra deadly rounds..."
I wonder... Am I subject to special scrutiny because I shoot pistol matches? Am I "practicing to kill people"? Am I expected to be more of a marksman? Maybe I could have shot the gun out of his hand since I practice so much? I'm a black belt... Maybe I should have just kicked the gun out of his hand. Maybe I could just focus my chi and
will him into dropping it, kind like Obi-Wan or Yoda... Fortunately, I live in Texas, where scoundrels are rarely rewarded...
